Foothill Oaks Casino Will Open Late 2008

SACRAMENTO - The final iron beams will be placed into position next week to complete the metal structure of the new Foothill Oaks Casino. The casino is being built by the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians. It is about 30 minutes east of Sacramento and scheduled to open late this year.

Vice Chairman of the tribe, John Tayaba said "The last iron piece will go in February 26th."

Chairman Nicholas Fonseca added, "We'll go up there and celebrate. It's the last piece for the frame."

The construction project is on schedule and proceeding as planned. Framing has also begun on the overpass spanning U.S. Highway 50. It is scheduled for completion in October.
