John,

Yesterday Chicago city leaders voted in favor of the city's first ever casino  — a historic project that has been in the making for more than 30 years! 

Thanks to Mayor Lightfoot's leadership, Chicago is emerging from the pandemic with strong financial footing, and the proposed casino will continue to help uplift Chicago's diverse communities for generations to come.  

​Here's what yesterday's vote means for Chicago:

Bally’s Chicago will provide thousands of permanent jobs and generate needed revenue, while providing economic opportunity for people across our city. 

We couldn't be more excited to know this project will soon break ground, and we know that you are too. Hundreds of you responded to our casino survey with your insight and input regarding the many benefits Chicagoans will soon enjoy.

As Mayor Lightfoot continues to work tirelessly to finalize this project, we'll continue to keep you updated. 

Thank you,
