An abandoned church may become a future casino owned by the Sault Ste. Marie
Tribe of Chippewa Indians. The tribe has property located near the Detroit Metro
Airport. The amount of land that is now owned by the tribe that the proposed
casino should be given authorization by the federal government.
In 2010 the tribe purchased 71 acres of land for $179,000. 7 acres of that land
is the location of the church. Another 7 acres in Huron Township is also owned
by the tribe. That land includes the Pinnacle Race Course.
The former church building is 70,000 square feet. The space will be divided to
provide tribal services, medical, education, in addition to the casino facility.
An agreement has been made between the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa
Indians and the township. Instead of property taxes the tribe will pay 0.5% of
the revenue from the slot machines to the township. The township will send a
letter when requested to the U.S. Department of Interior to show support desire
for the casino in the area.
