The Aquinnah Wampanoag Tribe plans to spend $300 million on a casino in southeastern Massachusetts.
The project includes a 145,000-square-foot casino, a 150,000-square-foot hotel with 150 rooms and retail and restaurant space. It would be built in three phases, with the first costing about $167 million. “We believe this proposal, with a design and scope that fits the area, will be very attractive to residents of Freetown and Lakeville,” Chairwoman Cheryl Andrews-Maltais said in a press release. The tribe has options on a 500-acre parcel in the town of Lakeville and Freetown. Residents of the communities will go to the polls to determine whether they want to host the project. Get the Story:
