The city of Evansville has agreed to extend -- and tweak -- its arrangement with LST 325.
Redevelopment Commission President Randy Ahlsman says the commission has approved a five-year agreement with the World War II ship -- with a five-year option after that.
Ahlsman tells WNIN that the deal also includes language that would allow the LST to leave its current dock off Waterworks Road, if Tropicana moves its gaming operation onto land.
Moving the ship to the floating casino's current site would require Tropicana’s approval.
The state has approved legislation allowing existing riverboat casinos to move inland, within their existing property.
