"A federal judge in Grand Rapids will hear arguments Wednesday in a case that may determine if Lansing will get a downtown casino.
A year ago, the Sault Ste Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians announced plans to build a casino that would wrap around Lansing’s downtown convention center. The plan included the construction of a temporary casino along Michigan Ave.
A year later, the tribe is still working to get the $245 million project to move forward. The tribe has purchased the land. The next step involves the tribe asking the federal government to take the land into trust. "
