NORTH BEND
The Coquille Economic
Development Corporation (CEDCO) has responded to months
of very low vacancy rates at the Mill Casino and Hotel with
plans for a $44 million expansion of the gaming and resort
complex. The 25% increase in casino space will upgrade the
lounge and allow for more games, including a poker room. Ray
Doering, CEDCO communications coordinator, says that by the end
of 2007 the expansion should add about 100 hotel rooms and
require 100 employees to be added to the current 520-person
staff.
