Sheffield Council Makes Job Claims
As reported by the BBC News: "A super-casino in Sheffield would generate 14,000 jobs in the city over 20 years, it has been claimed. "Sheffield City Council quoted the figure at a meeting of the Casino Advisory Panel to discuss the impact of a Las Vegas style super-casino. ".Council chief executive Sir Bob Kerslake said Sheffield offered an ideal location to 'pilot' the idea of a super-casino. "...Sir Bob told the panel the casino would directly create 1,500 jobs in an area ripe for regeneration. "But he said the long-term impact on the area would be much greater. He said that as well as 14,000 jobs over 20 years, the casino would generate £217m in extra economic activity in the same period."
