Blog: A glimpse of Menominee casino at Mohegan

Wednesday, September 3, 2008  

"To visit the Mohegan Sun resort in Uncasville, Conn., is to catch a glimpse of Kenosha's future.

Outstanding craftsmanship performed by local workers. Impeccable service by well-paid employees. Top-quality entertainment that draws visitors to the area and other nearby attractions. A strong and involved community partner.

Kenosha has heard a lot about the Mohegan Tribe over the past several years, ever since the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin announced its proposal to build a world-class entertainment center and casino at Dairyland Greyhound Park.

The Mohegan Tribe is the developer for the Menominee project and will serve as manager for its first seven years of operations.

I've had the opportunity to meet some of the Mohegan leaders when they've visited town. I'm always impressed by their dedication to the Menominee, by their interest in supporting the Kenosha community and by their business experience, acumen and philosophy.

I was already impressed before I visited the Mohegan Sun along with other Kenosha business leaders last month. When I arrived, I was blown away."
