Norwich city leaders say they would be receptive to any economic development proposal the Eastern Pequot Tribe of Connecticut might put on the table now that plans for a casino in a nearby town have been scrapped.

The tribe says Norwich is under consideration as a potential casino site. The tribe on Monday withdrew a casino proposed for New London.

The tribe is waiting to hear final word on its federal recognition petition. A federal judge has ordered the Bureau of Indian Affairs issue a final determination by the end of the year.
