The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut is still making plans for a casino in Massachusetts even though legislation to authorize commercial gaming failed to pass.
The tribe wants to build a casino in Palmer, in the western part of the state. The tribe agreed to a 50-year lease for a site in the town.

Brody acknowledge the downturn in the economy is affecting the tribe but expressed optimism about a recovery.
