Chad Bartelson

Submitted to Sumner Newscow — Kansas Crossing Casino + Hotel announced today that Chad Bartelson has been named Director of Security & Facilities and will begin work immediately. Chad is a native of Oxford, and has over 15 years of management, construction, facility and casino experience.

“Chad brings a wide variety of experience to the team,” said Doug Fisher, General Manager of Kansas Crossing Casino.  “He is going to add great insight to the project.”

Chad and his wife Jodie Bartelson are owners of the Wellington KOA Campground. Their son, Cameron, was a 2016 Wellington High School graduate.

Construction of the Kansas Crossing Casino + Hotel continues on schedule. A beam signing ceremony in August marked the completion of the facility’s structural work and commencement of the next phase in construction.

“Work has begun on the exterior walls, roofing, fireproofing, windows, doors, paving, utilities, and landscaping,” said Matt Swenson, Assistant Project Manager. “The focus is now on getting the building dried in and prepared for winter weather.”

Currently, 236 craftsmen, 96 percent of whom are Kansas-based, are working at the site. Construction photography is available at kansascrossingcasino.com or on the Kansas Crossing Facebook page.
