The city of Kenner is one step closer to having its own lakefront attraction. This month, city officials began a nationwide search to find a developer that can turn the city's ambitious plans into a reality.
At the Laketown redevelopment site, the Treasure Chest Casino sits alone at the small marina, but Mayor Mike Yenni is ready to make it the anchor of a major lakeshore destination. City officials say the opportunities are endless.
"It is very open ended. We're thinking for sure some restaurants, some type of night life," says Mike Quigley, the city's chief administration officer. "Maybe retail related to the waterfront."
