A survey conducted on behalf of a Connecticut newspaper has found support for a tribal casino in Bridgeport.

Of Bridgeport residents contacted, 62 percent said they welcome development. But 63 percent of their suburban neighbors oppose the idea.

Two tribes seeking federal recognition also want to open casinos. The status of the Golden Hill Paugussett Tribe and the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation are due to be resolved in the upcoming year.
