This was confirmed on December 3 during the City Council’s inaugural congregation.

Kellino Street is going to become one of the frequented areas of the city, as this is where fervent gaming action will be taking place once the casino venue opens for business. According to the information listed in the report which saw the day of light this week, the gaming project is among the highly anticipated projects to be finished next year and all parties involved in it are working in unison in order to optimize the process.

Some CA$1.5 million will be needed for the preliminary building permit of Durham Live.
