The Oneida Indian Nation broke ground at Point Place Casino to kick off a major expansion at the property, officials announced Tuesday in a statement.

Local elected officials, community leaders, partners in the building trades, and team members gathered at the casino to celebrate the Nation’s more than $50 million investment in the expansion, its team, and Madison County’s economic development.

“When we built Point Place Casino six years ago, we had a vision for what it could become as an entertainment destination and an economic engine for this community,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation Representative and Turning Stone Enterprises CEO, in a statement.
