The Yavapai-Prescott Tribe of Arizona is still working on plans for a new casino.

The tribe announced the project in April 2014 but has yet to break ground. Part of the delay was traced to a fallout with an architectural and engineering firm, The Prescott Daily Courier reported.

"The economic impact of this project to the Prescott region is estimated to be $80 million over the course of the project," President Ernest Jones Sr., told the paper.

The tribe currently offers gaming at the Bucky's Casino and the Yavapai Casino. Operations there might change once the new facility opens but details are still up in the air, the paper reported.
