For the second time in as many months, the Jackpot Casino Group is asking officials in Manhattan for permission to establish a restaurant, casino and bar at 110 S. Broadway.
This project has been in development for three years but was dealt a major blow in December, when the Town Council upheld a city staff recommendation to deny Jackpot a conditional use permit (CUP) at that location.
In denying the permit, the council cited Town Code 10-11-9, which prohibits a casino from being located within 250 feet of a park or residential area. A staff report dated Nov. 16, 2020, stated that 110 S. Broadway is located approximately 230 feet south of Railroad Park and 190 feet north of a residential transition zone.
