A Pasco casino and other development planned by the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation has the potential to become a major employer in the Tri-Cities.
But the opening of a casino is still a few years away.
The Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation expect the transfer of land for a tribal casino in Pasco to take two to five years.
Land must be transferred to the U.S. government to be held in trust for the benefit of the tribe.
The Colville Tribes bought land just inside Pasco that could be used for a casino and other economic development projects in 2019 and and added to it in 2020.
