Town pitches potential location for Shinnecock Nation casino

Thursday, May 13, 2010  

The Shinnecock Nation toured another potential casino site, this one at the airport in the town of Brookhaven.

The tribe is expected to gain federal recognition this summer. A casino is far down the line, trustee Randy King said, but the tribe is open to discussions.

"We have multiple consultants and representatives talking to people and having a variety of conversations with a lot of people that want to talk about different possibilities," King told The Southampton Press.

The tribe has a reservation on the eastern end of Long Island.
