Future slot machine parlors must wait for new Rockford rules
“Aldermen gave preliminary approval to pursue eminent domain, if necessary, to obtain an auto shop that’s part of the city’s plans to redevelop the historic Amerock building into a hotel and conference center.
Aldermen voted 10-1 Monday to authorize the city to make a final offer to purchase three properties owned by S&L Warshawsky’s Inc. at 431 S. Main St., 501 S. Main St. and 319 Cedar St. Eminent domain would be pursued if the offer is rejected. A final vote is scheduled for next week. Ald. Linda McNeely voted against.”
