The Kickapoo Tribe and the Sac and Fox Nation of Kansas have finalized an urban casino agreement with two local governments.

The tribes are proposing a $170 million casino on 40 acres of land in Kansas City. They are agreeing to share revenues with the city and Wyandotte County and pay property tax to two school districts.

The casino still needs approval by the state and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
