City moving slowly on Little Traverse Bay Bands casino project

Friday, July 12, 2013  

The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians is being asked to provide more information about its proposed casino in Mackinaw City, Michigan.

The tribe seemed to make a favorable impression at a public meeting in April. But the village manager wanted more information about payments in lieu of taxes, The Petoskey News-Review reported.

The tribe needs local approval for a second casino. The earliest the city council could vote on the project would be August, the council president said.
