Legislative Milestone Achieved

In a significant development, the California State Senate has passed the Gaming Compact Agreement for the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon. This legislative approval marks a crucial step forward, allowing the project to proceed with construction and operations.

Economic Impact and Job Creation

The project is expected to have a substantial economic impact on the region:

• Job Creation: Approximately 5,000 direct and indirect jobs will be generated, with local recruitment initiatives already underway.

• Annual Payroll: The resort will contribute over $60 million in annual payroll, providing significant income opportunities for residents.

• Local Hiring Commitment: At least 50% of the workforce will be comprised of Kern County residents, ensuring local communities benefit directly from the development.

Community and Safety Initiatives

In partnership with Kern County and Hard Rock International, the Tejon Indian Tribe will establish a joint substation for the Kern County Fire Department and Sheriff's Office adjacent to the hotel. This initiative aims to ensure the safety and well-being of both visitors and residents.

Cultural Significance

The development holds profound cultural importance as it will establish the first reservation for the Tejon Indian Tribe. This milestone represents a significant step in restoring the tribe's ancestral presence in the region.
