Tim Hinkley Quotations

We look forward to working closely with the Penguins as well as state and local officials as we move through the application process. Redevelopment of the Lower Hill and Uptown Districts will return the neighborhood to the community, and funding a new multi-purpose arena will keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh, making this project a win/win for the entire community. At the Isle, we believe that downtown Pittsburgh will become the best entertainment venue in the region.

Last week we announced our relationship with Lemieux Group and today we took the next step in the application process. We look forward to working closely with the Penguins as well as state and local officials as the application process continues.

Why would you work that hard to put a deal like this together and then pick up and move?

It would be ambitious compared to other projects we've done.

This casino was originally the first casino to open in the market back in 1992, and we are the first land-based Gulf Coast casino to open today following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

It's a step-by-step process. This is the first phase. There's no talk of hotel right now, but we're bullish on the marketplace.

In thirteen short years, Isle of Capri has grown from a million dollar company to a billion dollar corporation with strong Mississippi roots. Although we are moving our corporate headquarters to Missouri, we plan to continue supporting redevelopment efforts along the Gulf Coast long into the future. The State of Missouri and the City of Creve Coeur have warmly welcomed our Isle team members and we look forward to settling into our new headquarters.

I am proud of our team members in the Southern markets for overcoming significant challenges both personally and professionally in order to get our properties open and operating.
