The road to a possible casino near Moorhead will be long, according to White Earth Nation Tribal Chairman Michael Fairbanks.
At the Glyndon City Council meeting on Wednesday evening, May 28, Fairbanks told council members that moving forward with the project will be a lengthy process, as the tribe gets the land approved for off-reservation tribal gaming, works with consultants on a plan and garners support from surrounding communities.
“We sit here in front of you, of course, asking for support, but in general, it’s going to be probably a year before we get things going moving forward,” Fairbanks said.
