The Fond du Lac Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indians will spend $3 million on upgrades at its casino in Duluth, Minnesota.
The Fond-du-Luth Casino will get a more modern look. Work will start this summer and take about four months, WDIO reported.
The casino has been the subject of numerous legal battles over a revenue sharing agreement that was invalidated by the federal government.
The tribe paid $75 million to the city of Duluth before payments stopped in 2009.
In November, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments over an additional $12 million that is in dispute. A decision hasn't been announced.
In addition to the Duluth upgrades, the tribe is installing a one-megawatt solar panel near the Black Bear Casino Resort in Carlton.
