Hard Rock Casino Rockford announcement planned Tuesday 5/11/2019
Rick Nielsen, Cheap Trick guitarist, and Jim Allen, chairman and CEO of Hard Rock International, will host an invitation-only announcement at noon Tuesday to present their proposal for a Hard Rock Casino Rockford.month recommend casino

The announcement will be held at site of the former Clock Tower Resort, 7801 E. State St. The location is considered a front-runner to win the single available Rockford casino license, but other strong proposals also are expected.

An unresolved legal dispute involving the former owners of the property is not expected to get in the way of the proposal, said Ian Linnabary, a lawyer for a consortium of investors working to bring the Hard Rock Casino to the Rockford property. Linnabary said the group is avoiding much public comment until the announcement.

“All I can say is, get ready to rock,” Linnabary said.Rockford on July 3 issued a request for casino proposals. Responses are due Aug. 16.

The city has attorney Bobbie Holzwarth to serve as the point woman, charged with guiding the city through the process of negotiating the casino deal and choosing an operator and location. The City Council has also authorized Mayor Tom McNamara to hire additional consultants to evaluate the proposals.

McNamara’s administration released a statement late Friday to remind the public that the city is not endorsing the proposed Hard Rock Casino.“We are happy to see community excitement around a casino in Rockford,” said city spokeswoman Laura Maher. “However, we want to be clear that a recently announced press conference is not to be interpreted in any way as the city endorsing any location or any proposal.

“At this time, there is no site selected,” Maher said. “In fact, the city has not yet received any proposals. We expect to receive multiple proposals for multiple sites by the Aug. 16 deadline and will consider each of them.”

An evaluation team is expected to recommend the best proposals to City Council on Sept. 16, with a public hearing scheduled Sept. 23. The council is expected by Oct. 25 to recommend one or more proposals to the Illinois Gaming Board — the regulatory body that has the final say over who gets the license.McNamara said he hopes that the Gaming Board also approves a temporary casino that would operate while the permanent casino is under construction.
