Media interview Catawba Nation Assistant Chief Jason Harris during Media Day. By Loretta Cozart Last Thursday, repre- sentatives from Delaware North and the Catawba Na- tion welcomed the media to Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort located at 538 Kings Mountain Blvd. Approximately 25 media representatives from area newspapers, news maga- zines, and local television stations converged on the site to participate in the event. The 14,700 sq. foot pre- launch facility was abuzz with workers installing gaming machines. Dela- ware North's Chuck Kilroy, General Manager of the facility, shared that 257 slot machines had been in- stalled. By the end of that day, he projected another 117 would be installed. Sometime during this week all 500 machines should be in place. The prelaunch facility is being constructed from 23 modular units placed side- by-side to form one large room. The gaming area is about 14,700 square feet and the Administration area is about 4,200 square feet. The remaining six units will be used for an Administra- tive area and for restrooms. This first piece of the casino project is slated to open in early July, but a firm date has not been shared. The smoke-free facility will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and will provide a snack bar, service bar, with an out- side area for food trucks and dining. Parking for 650 cars will be available with a capacity of 1,100 people. Smoking is not allowed in- side the venue but will be allowed outside in desig- nated areas. The purpose of the prelaunch facility is to get things started while the permanent casino is being built. The next phase of construction, called the in- troductory phase, is slated to begin in January. This phase marks the beginning of vertical construction and will house approximately 1,360 slot machines when completed. The projected timeline for this phase is approximately one-year and should be finished in 2022. In April, city council ap- proved a zoning amend- ment relating to the Catawba Indian Nation Trust property allowing for a maximum height limita- tion of 130 feet at the site. That decision will facilitate the construction of Kings Mountain's first parking garage. The exact height for the parking garage has not been set. It will be con- structed in the lower area of the property, as noted dur- ing the city council meeting by Delaware North repre- sentatives. The final phase of the casino project will include a hotel, table games, and a resort, but no timeline has yet been set as to when that phase will begin. When completed, the total invest- ment estimated by the De- partment of the Interior is $273 million dollars. Kilroy announced that approximately 260 people were hired during two job fairs held in May at the LeGrand Center. "Most of those jobs are full-time," Kilroy said. "We hire peo- ple with upbeat personali- ties who have connections to the community. People think that working in a ca- sino is like what you see in movies, like Ocean's Eleven. It's not. The people that work in casinos are real people who go home; they coach little league, and they lead Girl Scout troops." It is estimated 2,600 people will be hired to work in Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort when construction is complete.
