Speak Out: What Would You Ask the Gambling Complex Developer?

Developer Dan O'Leary is scheduled to present his gambling complex idea to the Georgia Lottery Board this Thursday.

O'Leary is proposing to build a at the OFS fiber optic site near Jimmy Carter Boulevard and I-85 in unincorporated Norcross.

The gambling complex would have 7,500 video lottery terminals in addition to a 1,500-room luxury hotel, a performane venue, spa, parking garage, retail and dining. It aims to attract 5 million visitors and produce $350 million for the HOPE scholarship annually.

The public and media are welcome to the Georgia Lottery Board meeting, so we want to know: What would you ask the developer if you were attending? What would you ask the board?

, but what else would you like to know about the complex?

The meeting will take place at 12:30 p.m. in the Georgia Lottery Corporation building at 250 Williams Street, Suite 300, in Atlanta.

If the board approves O'Leary's proposal, the site would then have to be rezoned to mixed-use, which the Gwinnett County Commission would need to pass.

After that, construction can start immediately, said O'Leary in an interview with Norcross Patch.
