A 30,000-square-foot casino, entertainment centre and hotel is being proposed for Fredericton’s north side, on the edge of the St. Mary’s First Nation, also known as Sitansisk.
The Wolastoq River Resort Casino would be built in three phases and cost an estimated $170 million, according to Sitansisk Chief Allan Polchies.
“We’re going to be able to give a number of jobs back to our people. The economic impact, not only for Sitansisk St. Mary’s, but of course for the city of Fredericton as well,” said Polchies.
The proposed project would take up two city blocks along Union Street, with a pedway over Cliffe Street connecting the two buildings.
