The commission in Cherokee County, Kansas, approved the Quapaw Tribe's plans to improve roads around its new casino.
The $301 million Downstream Casino Resort opened in July. It's located in parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
The tribe plans to improve roads on the Kansas side of the facility, where the parking lot is located. The gaming portion is located in Oklahoma.
Cherokee County has a lawsuit pending in federal court that challenges the acquisition of the land for the gaming portion.
