If the State of Florida allows Seminole Gaming to continue its expansion plans throughout the region, it could result in more jobs in Florida.
The Seminoles recently had an agreement with the state, but that was voided last summer by the state Supreme Court. However, it has not been withdrawn from the federal government, which is the only legal authority with jurisdiction over Seminole land. The Florida House of Representatives recently heard from James Allen, CEO of Seminole Gaming, who said that if the state chooses to work with the tribe, it could result in 45,000 new jobs, according to an article by Online Casino Sphere.
The Seminoles are looking to continue expansion of existing tribe casinos and hotels, such as the hotel planned for the Coconut Creek casino location, which will be larger than the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood. Those projects could inject $4.5 billion into the Florida economy. The Seminoles also have put $288 million in trust as their contribution under the agreement. That cash would become immediately available to the state if the existing compact reached approval by legislators.
