Alexander CoolidgeDOWNTOWN – Workers are back on site constructing Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati, the first of an estimated 2,000 workers it will take to complete the sprawling gambling hall.
But all 2,000 will never be working at once, and few will be employed for the duration of the 20-month project. Construction officials say on-site employment will peak next year when the site will be teeming with as many as 350 workers completing exterior and interior work. Some jobs will last months, they say, but some specialized work will be completed in only weeks.

NewsParticipantReimagining the Downtown Casino
EMILY BADGEROCT 27, 20111 COMMENTCasinos are generally designed to lure people inside and then keep them there. The exit is always harder to find than the entrance.

For all these reasons, casinos don’t make for great urban neighbors.
