State and Winnebagos conclude casino negotiations
| 09 December 2004 |
As reported by: Sioux City Journal
The state of Iowa has completed negotiations with the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska two years early, a move the tribe requested in order to expand its casino in western Iowa.
"Once this Compact is finalized, the Winnebago Tribe will be able to secure financing to expand its operations in Sloan, including a planned hotel," Winnebago Tribal Chairman John Blackhawk said.
The provisions of the Compact remain confidential until the U.S. Department of the Interior reviews, approves, and publishes it in the Federal Register, said Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals Director Steve Young.
The current eight-year compact was not scheduled to end until Dec. 31, 2006.
"The interest of both sovereigns, the State of Iowa and the Winnebago Tribe, have been contemplated and the process has resulted in a compact that respects and is endorsed by both sovereigns," Young said.
The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska operates the WinnaVegas Casino in Sloan.
