The Nooksack Tribe of Washington held a public meeting on Tuesday night to hear from the community about a new casino.
The tribe wants to build the 35,800-square-foot casino on 20 acres of trust land. But local residents have formed an opposition group, YES casiNO, to fight the plan.
Concerns center over the use of the land, which is currently agricultural, and the effects on traffic and the environment. The tribe has published an environmental assessment on its website [PDF].
