An obstacle is hindering the relocation of Ioway Casino from its present site to an adjacent setup.
The initial hurdle in this process occurred when the Governor's office declined the tribe's proposal for an exit ramp in 2019. At present, visitors are required to take a detour through Wellston covering a distance of five miles to access Ioway Casino.
The construction of the hotel has been temporarily paused due to the absence of a turnpike exit that directly connects to the resort's parking lot, potentially causing a decrease in foot traffic and revenue.
