Officials with the city of Salem and Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde want more time to review plans for a proposed tribal casino in north Salem as the Siletz tribe seeks federal approval for the project.
The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians plans to establish a 20-acre off-reservation casino at 4751 Astoria Street N.E. in Salem, off Interstate 5. The proposed 180,800-square-foot casino would house 2,000 gaming devices and 45 tables. There would also be a 500-room hotel, nightclub and sports bar.
The project still requires approval from the Secretary of the Interior and Gov. Kate Brown to move forward.
On Wednesday, Jan. 26, at 6 p.m. the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs is holding a public hearing on the proposed casino.
