The proposed $180 million casino resort in Muskegon County by the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians may be reaching a dead end, according to Ogema [Chief] Larry Romanelli.
“I just got word — we were trying to do the Muskegon casino project and it looks like we’re at the end of our line,” Romanelli said.
The tribe has invested nearly 14 years and $30 million into developing the casino, which was planned for a 60-acre site in Fruitport Township near the intersection of I-96 and U.S. 31 — the former location of the Great Lakes Downs racetrack.
The proposed Muskegon casino would have been the Little River Band’s second gaming facility, complementing their existing Little River Casino Resort in Manistee.
