The Catawba Indians will build two more North Carolina casinos and have identified the sites, Chief Brian Harris said Wednesday as the tribe celebrated the opening of the first part of its $1.2 billion casino in Kings Mountain.
“We got two more casinos to build in this state, and goddamn we’re going to build them,” Harris told 500 tribal members and others at a ribbon cutting for the first phase of the Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort, off Interstate 85 exit 5, 35 miles west of Charlotte.
Harris declined to identify the two sites when asked by The Charlotte Observer after the ceremony.
“I can’t tell you that right now,” Harris said.
