The spokesperson said they would give “due consideration” to any proposals by the Menominee tribe, but that they had not been presented with a specific plan for the casino, nor had any conversations with Hard Rock International about the purchase of land from the Village of Bristol.

Several key steps are still needed before Evers would make a decision on any Kenosha area casino proposal, including a “significant” environmental review and approval from the U.S. Department of Interior to use the land for a casino.
