NEW HAVEN, Ind. (WANE) The company that wants to move a casino from southern Indiana to New Haven has released conceptual drawings of what the complex might look like along with other details.
Full House Resorts intends to move the Rising Star Casino Resort from Rising Sun, Indiana to land located next to the I-469 and U.S. 30 interchange west of Doyle Road. The company's intentions were first reported back in August. The original proposed location was at the corner of Doyle and Harper Roads near I-469 and U.S. 24; however, after gathering feedback from city officials and neighboring homeowners, the company opted for the new location.
