The president and CEO of MGM Resorts does expect its Springfield casino to return to its originally promised number of 3,000 jobs, which was based on an original market valuation that he said was 'simply was off — full stop.'
Hornbuckle on Friday declined to comment on the lawsuit. He noted the company had kept its financial commitments to Springfield, with $107 million going to the city, and said he has a"deep, deep respect for this community."
Asked about specific benchmarks MGM was looking for, Hornbuckle said he wanted the Springfield casino to"lean in more on community communications." He said the company has forecasts and budgets, but no"economic benchmark, per se." "If there was an economic motivator of real scale, you know, in retrospect, this project would have never happened," he said.
Hornbuckle said he wants to bring MGM Springfield"back to life." He announced the reopening and expanded hours of some restaurants and non-gambling activities. He also said the casino expects to open for sports betting later this month."We have to acknowledge how [the] COVID-19 pandemic has affected each and every one of us for the last two and a half years.
