Details of the projects were expected to be officially unveiled at a 7 p.m. meeting on Monday at Matteson Village Hall.

In a news release, Village President Sheila Chalmers-Currin stated the proposed site is the “absolute best location in the southern Cook County” for a casino, stressing the convenience of drivers due to the close proximity of I-57 and I-80.

The casino would include an historical exhibit chronicling the multi-cultural history of the area, which is home to several Underground Railroad sites.
