"We're creating 80 new jobs and we are wanting all of those to be tribal members, because we want to empower our tribal members to succeed," Chief Gary Batton said in a press release. The tribe did not disclose the cost of the project but expects it to be complete in July 2017. The facility sits only a few miles north of the Texas border and about 20 miles from Paris, Texas.
