An independent economic study conducted by Johnson Gardner, LLC projects that the proposed gaming and entertainment center in Wood Village would generate $186 million annually in direct contributions to Oregon.

No taxpayer dollars will be used to build, operate or regulate the commercial, taxable resort casino.


The study also found the project would create hundreds of direct construction jobs, generating a $286 million annual payroll. Economists projected the facility itself will provide 3,000 permanent jobs. The study also projects the creation of 2300 indirect jobs through increased commerce.

Should our proposed casino and entertainment center be the sole casino in the Portland area, it will:

Provide Revenue to Oregon

Provide $186 million in annual revenue. The majority of these dollars will be distributed to every school district in Oregon. To see the allocation to your school district, click on Good for Schools

Generate over $20 million each year in property taxes, increased income taxes from newly created jobs and occupancy taxes.


Create Jobs

Create over 5,000 new jobs with many new jobs during the construction years and 3,000 direct jobs and 2,300 indirect/induced jobs beginning with its operation.


Defend Oregon's Revenue from migrating to Washington

If the Oregon Entertainment Center is not approved and a mega-casino is built across the river in Washington, Oregon will lose $186 million annually in dedicated tax revenue; over $20 million additional loss in income, local property and occupancy taxes.


Annual Statewide Impact (just from having this facility in the Portland metro area)

The commercial taxable casino will create over 450 million dollars in statewide business revenue.

It will generate over $50 million in wage income and nearly 1,270 additional jobs around the state outside the Portland area.

The commercial taxable casino results in over $8 million in new annual income taxes paid to the state.
