ELDORADO’s wholly owned subsidiary .. The Mountaineer Casino in West Virginia …
Announced last week that they are selling.. (1,300 Acres) .. of excess real estate the casino has owned for more than a decade
in Hancock County, West Virginia
In the article that is attached .. (BELOW) …
It appears that the State of West Virginia Government may decide to grant this ELDORADO owned acreage
with “ECONOMIC TAX INCENTIVES” in order to spur new business development in the area …
Such an event would certainly make the land more valuable -&- increase the lands total value
Using some conservative MATH …..
At $10,000 in value … per / 1,300 ACRES
That would be worth – $13 Million – in Value => Directly: To ELDORADO RESORTS – (ERI)
At $20,000 in value … per / 1,300 ACRES
That would be worth – $26 Million – in Value => Directly: To ELDORADO RESORTS – (ERI)
The property is very attractive … As the it is attached to :
1) The Ohio River
2) A Major US Railway System -via- The Baltimore / Ohio Railway
3) Highway – US ROUTE #2

Mountaineer Race Track & Casino chooses former CEO
To market 1,300 Acres in Hancock County, West Virginia
Business Leaders

Ted Arneault, former chairman and chief executive officer at Mountaineer Race Track & Casino, is now in charge of marketing
the company’s surplus property in northern Hancock County.
MTR has 1,300 acres of prime properties in and around Route #2 north of New Cumberland, WV available
for commercial and industrial development, Arneault said in a release.
Arneault said he’ll work with local municipalities, Hancock County and state officials as well as private investors to bring business
and industry to the area, adding availability of the acreage for economic development “bodes well for Hancock County’s future.”
He said they’ve already put together a “best use” plan for the property to ensure mixed development that will provide the area
“with maximum diversity and growth.”
“All of the acreage is developable, however, from a best use application each parcel has factors that make it more suitable to either
light industrial, retail, professional offices and other uses,” Arneault said.
“Based on our analysis of the Ohio Valley and recent emerging markets, we believe Hancock County markets to be energy, natural
resource treatment and refinement, transportation of and storage for these resources.”
Arneault said he’s
already been contacted by companies interested in the Ohio Valley, particularly those servicing or supplying
the natural gas processing industry and other companies.
He said
the acreage is environmentally compliant and already has access to water, so there are no brown-fields to contend with
and immediate development is possible, which he sees as an advantage.
A 6-acre site north of the Holiday Inn in Newell was purchased by CHANGE Inc. to construct a family medical clinic, women’s health center
and outreach center for the non-profit’s Community Action services.
“Every resident of Hancock County has a vested interest in the development of this property,” Arneault said, pointing out state and county
officials have frequently cited the lack of available property as a major impediment to Hancock County’s growth, particularly in the northern
end of the county.
“This development is vital not only to the tax base of our municipalities and our county, but to the ability to provide jobs for our youth to stop
the out migration that is occurring.”
Arneault said he will meet with the Hancock County Commissioners, local town and city councils, the Business Development Corporation and
state officials over the next few months to “detail plans, share the maps and seek input from all involved.”
