Isle of Capri scraps Kimmswick casino plan. Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. has scrapped its plans to build a riverboat casino in Kimmswick, Mo. in Jefferson County. Residents of Kimmswick had protested the casino since it was approved in July 2000 by the Missouri Gaming Commission. The company cited pending and potential litigation, possible condemnation and/or annexation of the site by a neighboring community, engineering and construction obstacles and lack of community support for dropping the plans. The company said it could not develop the site within its previously proposed time frame. However, it said it is committed to the St. Louis area and "would hope to develop a project in that area in the future." Biloxi, Miss.-based Isle of Capri Casinos operates 14 casinos at 13 locations.
