A sweeping gaming bill passed by the General Assembly allowed Spectacle Entertainment to move its pair of casinos from Buffington Harbor in Gary to a single inland location in Northwest Indiana. The new law also opened a path for a casino license in Vigo County, which county residents gave their approval to in the November 2019 general election. In 1995, one-third of the Buffington property was sold to entrepreneurs, Donald Trump and Donald Barden, for $13.5 million. The two placed a pair of gambling boats, the Majestic Star and Trump Casino in the harbor. Lehigh Cement sold the remaining portion of its Buffington Plant on September 14, 2000 to the City of Gary for $25 million.
Don Barden (owner of Majestic Star Casino, LLC) has released plans for an arena and other commercial development for the harbor.
