Ameristar Casinos Signs Memorandum of Understanding With Local Trades to Build Resort Casino Complex in Springfield, Mass.
(firmenpresse) - LAS VEGAS, NV -- (Marketwire) -- 09/06/12 -- Ameristar Casinos, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASCA) announced today it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Pioneer Valley Building and Construction Trades Council and Carpenters Local No. 108 designed to ensure that union tradesmen will build its luxury hotel and entertainment resort if awarded the sole casino license for western Massachusetts.
"We look forward to partnering with the Trades Council and Local 108 to create approximately 2,000 construction jobs," said Troy Stremming, Ameristar's Senior Vice President of Government Relations and Public Affairs. "This MOU creates a framework for negotiating a definitive agreement meant to assure required labor harmony during development and construction of our resort. By signing the MOU now, it will allow the trades the lead time necessary to prepare their workforces to begin building the project as soon as the license is awarded. In turn, the much needed permanent jobs and tax revenue the project will generate will not be delayed."
Ameristar owns a 40-acre site on Page Blvd. and Interstate Highway 291 in Springfield, Mass., which has been cleared and is ready for construction.
