The start of construction-related activities follows the recent review and approval by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) of the project’s Transportation Management Plan and issuance of an Encroachment Permit to the Tribe to minimize any traffic impact on SR-94 during the building phase of the project, according to the tribe. “We have worked tirelessly for well over a decade listening to the voices of the community, addressing concerns, and ultimately developing a project that blends seamlessly into the region, while creating approximately 2,500 much needed construction and permanent jobs in our region.” “We are very excited that our long-time dream will finally become a reality,” said Raymond Hunter, chairman of the Jamul Indian Village of California. The Indian tribe said it has made significant changes to the design of the facility to incorporate local community input, including significantly reducing its height and footprint. It said the planned development will now include water and wastewater reclamation facilities, addressing on-site fire protection measures. Jacob and community residents have long opposed the proposed casino, claiming it is not suitable for the Jamul community and would create dangerous traffic conditions. The tribe’s development partner is a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming Inc. The announcement for the “Hollywood Casino Jamul” was made in a press release by the Indian tribe, which said the project would include a three-story gaming and entertainment center of about 200,000 square feet and featuring more than 1,700 slot machines, 50 table games, “multiple restaurants, bars and lounges” and an enclosed below-grade parking structure with more than 1,900 spaces.
