Help Save the Confluence: The One and Only
The Missouri Common Sense Coalition is opposing a plan to convert 400 acres of Mississippi River floodplain, wetlands, and farmland next to the Columbia Bottom Conservation Area in Spanish Lake into a massive casino complex.
The casino project proposed by North County Development LLC is simply the wrong development in the wrong place.
A Winning Plan for Missouri
Instead of 8,000 parking places and a casino complex, we should develop this land to build on the natural beauty of the area and to support the growing number of visitors to this unique natural area at the confluence of our great rivers, but with fewer negative impacts.
The Missouri Common Sense Coalition supports economic development in North St. Louis County that makes sense … both for today and tomorrow. The floodplain casino project is simply the wrong development in the wrong place!

Once this natural area is gone … it is gone forever, not only for this generation but for generations to come. If it is destroyed, there will be no opportunity to look at better alternatives that create businesses and jobs while sustaining our local communities and celebrating our natural treasures.
