MACKINAW CITY, Mich. (AP) - An American Indian tribe is planning a new $26 million casino in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula.
The Petoskey News-Review reports the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians agreed to shift $970,000 to its capital project fund for pre-construction fees and consulting for a satellite casino in Mackinaw City. A draft of minutes for a Sunday meeting included the 6-2 vote.
The tribe operates the $140 million Odawa Casino Resort in Emmet County, south of Petoskey. An agreement with the state of Michigan allows the tribe to build a second casino in Emmet County. Mackinaw City was originally considered for a casino before the Petoskey-area one was built.
The tribe says the new casino could include 550 slot machines. The Petoskey-area casino has 1,300 slot machines and other gambling.
