More than a decade of work and millions of dollars could be awash if a casino in Muskegon County doesn’t get the final stamp of approval from Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this week.
For 12 years, the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians has been working to bring a casino to the site of the former Great Lakes Downs Racetrack in Fruitport Township. The now vacant lot is set to be a casino with a 70,000 square foot gaming floor and a 220-room hotel.
“The community has been asking me continually what’s going on,” said Tribal Ogema Larry Romanelli.
