News Coverage of Gun Lake Casino Plans
From the K’zoo Gazette:
Plans for the Gun Lake Casino are quietly edging forward, despite what appears to be an impending bankruptcy filing by Station Casinos Inc., the company hired to manage its construction and operation.
The Gun Lake Band of Pottawatomi is on track to release a schedule for groundbreaking, construction and hiring sometime this spring, according to those familiar with the situation.
The tribe declined to comment this week when asked about the status of the $200 million project, but it has said Las Vegas-based Station Casinos’ problems are not hindering the project.
