SYLMAR, CA—Gaming casinos are uniquely challenging to develop because of advanced environmental, surveillance, and gaming technology systems and an accelerated building schedule, according to Dick Rizzo, VP of Tutor Perini Building Corp. In an earlier story, GlobeSt.com reported that Tutor Perini Building Corp., an affiliate of Tutor Perini Corp., won a contract worth $112 million to expand a gaming casino in the Santa Ynez Valley on behalf of the area’s band of Chumash Indians.

“The Chumash Tribe represents a prime example of our repeat business. We began working with their leadership, management and oversight team, as well as their architect and design consultants over 12 years ago, helping build one of the most successful Native American casino-resorts in California,” Rizzo tells GlobeSt.com. “Tutor Perini is most gratified to once again be invited to take part in their newest expansion plans.”
