The White Earth Nation has purchased 280 acres of farmland just east of Moorhead, adjacent to Interstate 94.
“We’ve been looking at this property for a number of years,” White Earth Nation Tribal Utility Commission executive director Nate Mathews told the Clay County Commission.
“And we’ve looked at this land as a resort casino complex area.”
Mathews said the project is still in the preliminary planning stages but would likely include a casino, a hotel and convention center, several restaurants and a truck stop. He said the complex could employ 450 to 550 workers.
