The Redding Rancheria might be best known in the region for its role as the operator of the Win-River Resort & Casino.
Over the last several years, the Native American tribe has increasingly become more involved in the region’s health care delivery system and political scene. And it has prevailed in a long held and sometimes controversial bid to relocate its existing casino to a property along the Sacramento River just south of Redding, where a hotel, gambling and entertainment complex is now planned.
Opponents in 2020 tried unsuccessfully to block the casino development in the area known as Strawberry Fields.
In February, other opponents filed a lawsuit demanding that the Shasta County Board of Supervisors set aside/and or rescind its decision last year to approve a 30-year contract for the county to provide fire, law enforcement, traffic control and road maintenance services.
