The Bureau of Indian Affairs has given final approval for placing approximately 33 acres of land into trust for the Ho-Chunk Nation’s Beloit casino project which will culminate in the tribe having the ability to move forward with the final design, infrastructure work and construction on the planned development

“The Nation, our partners and this community have been anticipating this moment for years,” says Vice President Karena Thundercloud, “There’s been some skepticism about the timeline because of the Nation’s reliance on the federal processes but we’ve been confident in the project’s viability and look forward to a bright future for Belit, the state of Wisconsin and the Ho-Chunk Nation.”
