Saint Louis County Assessor Jake Zimmerman announced Monday that the Aasessor’s office and Pinnacle Entertainment, the owner of River City Casino, in Lemay, have reached an agreement regarding the 2010, 2011 and 2012 property value appeals brought by the casino. “I am very pleased to say that we have resolved River City’s value disputes, and reached an amicable agreement that is fair to all involved”, said Zimmerman in a news release. “Our job is simple: determining the fair market value of all properties.
