Leaders of two Connecticut towns that have complained about the impact of land-into-trust on their tax base are hoping a new tribal hotel will bring in revenue.

The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation is considering building a hotel on non-trust property in Preston or Ledyard. The host town will be able to collect thousands of dollars in taxes.

The tribe is already the second largest taxpayer in Ledyard.
