Imperial Pacific International (IPI) is relying on recent adjustments to find a way to recovery in Saipan. The parent company of the Imperial Palace's struggling casino operator, IPI Holdings, believes the hiring of two new executives will be crucial in guiding the business in the direction of stability. IPI Holdings is expanding its board of directors and hiring a legal professional. The modifications happen at a time when IPI might lose its Saipan license. Despite being years and millions of dollars in debt, the company has consistently resisted attempts to force it out. IPI is about to cost the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands more money even as it makes changes at the executive level and is unable to pay its bills.
