$350M Casino Planned for Madera CountyNORTH FORK, CA – An environmental impact report was published Friday by the U.S. Department of Interior regarding plans of the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians to build a resort casino in Madera County. The tribe had filed an application with the Department to place land into federal trust, a fundamental step for sovereignty from state jurisdiction. If a land transfer is granted, the tribe can proceed with their plans.
The casino will be a $350 million multi-function entertainment destination
resort featuring Las-Vegas-style gaming machines, a 200-room hotel, a spa, three
restaurants, six bars, gift shops, and 4,500 parking spaces.
The report is an extensive study of foreseen opportunities and problems the
casino will create, such as new jobs, more residents, pollution, and problem
gamblers. The casino would create 2,441 construction jobs, 1,461 full-time
casino jobs, and an additional 2,319 Madera-area jobs. The study estimates 836
new residents will move into the area. It will also create 705 "problem
gamblers" and air pollution from the construction activity and increased vehicle
traffic. |
