City of Rockford issued the following announcement on Aug. 2.
Casino Update: The City of Rockford has extended the deadline for RFP responses to Friday, August 30, at 2 p.m. As a result of conversations with various industry representatives in the last couple of weeks, our consultants recommended that the deadline be extended.
Due to the tight time restrictions allowed in the statute, the City’s original deadline only gave potential proposers 44 days to complete the RFP, which is less than half of the industry standard for casino RFP responses. The new extension will give potential proposers 58 days. The extension will not affect the City’s ability to review and certify proposals before the application due date.
