If MGM Resorts wins the rights to build a waterfront casino in Bridgeport, it will establish a workforce training center in New Haven as part of its plan to extend the economic impact of its proposal in Connecticut. A question has surfaced about the application logistics, if the state legislature approves a casino process that leads to MGM’s selection. OIB reached out to Uri Clinton, senior vice president and legal counsel for MGM Resorts International. Here’s his response:
We will agree in our Host Community Agreement with the City of Bridgeport to the following:
(1) having application centers in Bridgeport;(2) including Bridgeport residents in a First Choice Employment Program;
(3) providing transportation from Bridgeport to New Haven for required training
(4) using documented best efforts to maintain agreed upon targeted percentages of employees who are Bridgeport residents;
(5) engaging with Bridgeport based job training centers, and colleges and universities; and
(6) reporting our employment numbers (including percentage of employees who are Bridgeport residents) to the City Council and Bridgeport Community groups.
Remember the pending legislation requires that the Host Community Agreement be in place and submitted as part of the RFP response.
An application center is a room filled with long tables and folding chairs where applicants can complete the preliminary paper work.

About Resorts World Catskills
Beautifully situated in the pristine Catskill Mountains of Sullivan County, a mere 90 miles from New York City, Resorts World Catskills is being built. It is part of a $1.2 billion, four-season destination resort which will include a casino hotel and will also include an entertainment village, golf course and more.
Resorts World Catskills will feature over 100,000 square feet of gaming action with more than 130 table games, a poker room, and 2,150 of the most cutting-edge slot machines.* Our 18-story all-suite hotel is designed to meet 5-star and 5-diamond standards and will also feature garden villas, two-story and penthouse suites. The resort property will also include upscale spa and fitness amenities, 10 varied bar and restaurant experiences, two indoor pools, meeting rooms, and event space. In late 2018, the entertainment village is expected to open and provide additional entertainment, food and accommodations. In spring 2019, a Rees Jones-redesigned 18-hole golf course is anticipated to debut as well.
*Pending NYSGC Approval.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them…
