The Hannahville Indian Community, a Potawatomi Tribe in Michigan, has refiled an application for an off-reservation casino.
The tribe wants to open a $300 million casino and hotel on 27 acres in Romulus. The gaming site is nearly 500 miles from the reservation.
A gaming facility remains a standing goal of the City of Romulus, especially given the unemployment rate in Michigan," Rep. John Dingell (D-Michigan) wrote in a letter to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The Bush administration rejected the proposal in January 2008 under an off-reservation gaming policy that is being reviewed.
