Gateway Casinos and Entertainment have signed a letter of intent to become a part of the True North Strong development on the Kingsway and plan to build a 60 million dollar facility on the property.

Gateway took over the northern bundle of casinos on May 30th and now plan to build a premier casino and entertainment property at the location.

It will feature a gaming floor and multiple dining and culinary options.

The new facility is said to add 250 new jobs which will grow the workforce to 400 people, the construction will result in approximately 700 person-years of employment.

Gateway will be unveiling more details on the brands and amenities for Greater Sudbury in the coming weeks and they hope to have the new casino open in the Spring of 2020.
