“No final determination” for casino move, says Southside director
MEDICINE HAT, ALTA- The next move for Medicine Hat’s casino appears to still be up in the air.
On Friday, CHAT News reported that Casino by Vanshaw and the Box Springs Business Park have been in negotiations for the past year. Both entities have been discussing the move of the casino into the Box Springs area, with the likely parcel of land located along the Trans-Canada Highway south of the Canalta Centre.
However, the move northwest from their current location at the Medicine Hat Lodge could impact another space in the city, as the casino had previously announced a shift to the Southside Events Centre back in the summer.
Reached for comment on the matter, Ronald Baba, a local lawyer and member of business’s board of directors, wouldn’t discuss the negotiations between the centre and the casino in detail. However, he did confirm that there was no “final determination” yet reached.
