The tribe is continuing efforts to partner with Hard Rock International to build a casino and entertainment complex in Kenosha.

Previously in 2015, they had similar plans be approved by the city and county of Kenosha, but those plans were ultimately rejected by then Governor Walker.

“Nothing new, except hoping that the outcome will be new,” said Ronald Corn Sr., Menominee Tribe chairman. “We would be the best neighbor that we could be to the city and county.”
