NORTH BAY — North Bay is one step closer to opening its Cascades Casino after construction of the new facility resumed on Monday.

“We felt we were far enough along with this casino that it made sense to build it out and complete it,” said Rob Mitchell of Gateway Casinos.

Construction stopped for several months due to COVID-19 restrictions before the company closed the site completely for the colder months.

“Last November we able to pour the concrete floor and get all the rough-ins in for plumbing and for our cooking and electrical needs,” said Mitchell. “Then we shut down the site for the winter.”
