41. GVA Marquette Site Comparison
“We believe the Pinnacle site is the superior site among
the five sites evaluated. A casino at this location, in
combination with the Schlitterbahn attraction and
lodging units, would create a unique gaming
destination that would expand the regional gaming
market, thus maximizing the amount of revenue
generated by visitors from outside the local market…
For these reasons we believe that this site is likely to
generate the highest gaming revenues of the five sites
evaluated.”
