The Bear River Band of California broke ground on Tuesday on a multi-purpose center next to its casino.

The 23,000 square-foot Bear River Recreation Center will function as a gym and activity center during the day. At night, it will become a venue for entertainment and concert events for the neighboring Bear River Casino Hotel.

“This just allows us more flexibility, another option and, like I said, bigger and better," operations manager Matthew Mattson told KRCR.

Construction will take about a year so the facility will open sometime next summer.
