Members of the tribe’s gaming authority and legislature spoke with the Kenosha News on Wednesday about the proposed $360 million casino complex that, if fully developed, they said would include a hotel, restaurants and entertainment venue. The tribe is working with developer Hard Rock International on about 60 acres of land just west of Interstate 94.

“We feel the atmosphere is right for us to bring that project forward again,” said Joey Awonohopay, chairman of the Menominee Kenosha Gaming Authority and a tribal legislator.
