A city caught in the middle of a years-long fight over a casino may get one right outside its limits.
Garfield County commissioners met with representatives and the chief of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee in Enid about building a casino, something that has been a hot topic.
Years ago, the city of Enid told the tribe from Tahlequah “no” when they tried to build the casino inside city limits. That tribe is now moving their plan slightly to the west near Highways 412 and 132…
The land is already committed to the tribe to acquire and put into a trust with the federal government, according to a person close to the deal.
