Council recommits to usage of casino funds for reservoir

Osceola City Council voted 5-0 Tuesday to recommit to using money it has in an escrow account for the proposed Clarke County Reservoir project.

As part of an agreement in 2004, Terrible's Lakeside Casino gave the community $3.2 million, which has now grown to $3.9 million in the escrow account.

In addition, Bill Trickey, with Clarke County Development Corporation, told the council, per the same agreement, Lakeside Casino should begin paying the community 1/2 percent of its gross gaming revenue beginning February 2013.
