The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians expects to sign a revised Class III gaming compact with state of Michigan within 60 days, an attorney for Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D) said.
The initial compact was signed in 1998. But changes are being made to reflect the agreements that other tribes signed in the last few years, the attorney said.
The changes apparently deal with revenue sharing and with the board that determines how to distribute revenues among local governments. The tribe agreed to share 2 percent with the community.
The FireKeepers Casino will open next month.
