[On Friday] the Rain Rock Casino in Yreka broke ground to begin its transformation from a pit stop casino to a travel destination. The future of the casino will provide more stability to Siskiyou County and the Karuk Tribe.
Projected to be complete in 2024 the Rain Rock Resort will feature more than 80 rooms, VIP cabins, a luxurious pool, and a convention center. Mayor of Yreka Duane Kegg says the addition will create more jobs and circulate more money into the city of Yreka.
“For every dollar spent in Yreka, 75% will be will get recirculated back into this community so it’s huge… Bringing people that would not normally stop in Yreka are now stopping in Yreka so it’s huge all the way around,” says Kegg.
