The U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) announced on Thursday that it is now accepting public comments on the environmental impact assessment for the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians proposal for a Casino and Tribal Housing Project located in Vallejo.

In addition to a casino, the proposed project would also include the construction of 24 single-family residences, a tribal administration building, parking garage and a 45-acre biological preserve area on a 160-acre property located within and adjacent to the City of Vallejo boundary in Solano County, near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highway 37. The casino facility would be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
