Sheffield Super-Casino
in the Works
Sept. 6-06
A
Sheffield super casino will open up job opportunities in the UK.
According to estimations the proposed casino will generate more
than 14,000 jobs for the community.
The Casino advisory panel have met to discuss the construction of
a Las Vegas style casino in Sheffield and the possible impact the
facility may have on the surrounding community. The 14,000
employee figure was derived from that meeting as a means to
illustrate the economic gained that could be acquired after the
casino was up and running.
Sheffield would be joining six other major cities in the UK who
have taken on casino construction plans. The competition posed by
the already existing sites will be combated by the buildings
super-casino status. The Las Vegas style will be infused in
the British casino as a means to attract clientele from al over
the country.
The Chief executive of the advisory
council, Sir Bob Kerslake, touted the location and opportunity
that Sheffield provides. It is his belief that Sheffield is ideal
for such a venture and that the super-casino will thrive in the
area.
With a costumer base of 4.4. million
that live within an hours drive from the city, it is no wonder
that the town of Sheffield has caught the eye of casino investors.
There is amble opportunity for allocating long time patrons of the
super-casino, which will no doubt employ marketing efforts that
reach outside the city of Sheffield.
Sir Kerslake also projected a
generation of 14,000 jobs over the course of the next twenty
years. The initial number of openings produced by the casino is
estimated at around 1,500. The 217 million pounds yearly revenue
will be more than beneficial to the city of Sheffield.
The Chief Executive acknowledges that
there will be quite a hurdle to over come if and when a license is
permitted for construction on the casino. Business, after all, is
not the only fact that plays a key role in the decision. However,
it is through highlighting the economic benefit that Kerslake
hopes to push the project forward.
