There has been a ruling in the favor of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. A federal district court judge has ruled the tribe can continue its efforts to build a casino on its land in Clark County.

In 2002, the tribe applied to establish a reservation on 152 acres it purchased near La Center. They also wanted to build a $510 million casino resort on the land.  In 2010, the application was given approval by the Bureau of Indian Affairs of the US Interior Department.

The US Justice Department disagreed with the approval and filed an appeal in court to stop it. Several other groups also disagreed with the approval including property owners, La Center card room operators, the city of Vancouver, and Clark County.

However, this court ruling agrees with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe. Plans to put the land into trust and the future casino can continue.

For details about the proposed casino, see our Cowlitz Casino Resort page.
