A third Idaho Indigenous tribe is in the mix over the race to develop a resort and casino near the heavily populated Treasure Valley.
Last week, the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Reservation closed on a 557-acre property straddling the Ada and Elmore counties south of I-84 between Mountain Home and Boise as the potential site for a casino. A press release from the tribe released Tuesday evening said the project will be developed in collaboration with the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, who is providing “a large upfront investment” to help the Sho-Pai develop and manage the project.
This would be the first casino for the Sho-Pai tribes.
