The first and likely only tribal casino within Massachusetts’ borders appears to be finally moving ahead after multiple delays spanning nearly a decade. A representative of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has shared that plans for the gaming facility will be shared with the public “in early 2025.”
The planning for the enterprise, dubbed First Light Resort and Casino, will involve city leaders in Taunton, Massachusetts and involve phases of development. The Mashpee Wampanoag are already moving forward with a non-gaming project on the land the casino will occupy.
The Taunton Gazette reported on [December 23] that leaders in the city and from the Mashpee Wampanoag will soon join to pour over plans for development of the 321-acre site that the Tribe owns.
