Based on the agreement, the $125 million casino would be located the east side of Terre Haute near the intersection of State Road 46 and Interstate 70.
It also outlines how the estimated $6 million in tax revenue would be handled. Now that commissioners have approved the agreement, it will be sent to the Indiana Gaming Commission for further approval.
