Choctaw Pursue Casino Despite Election Defeat

November 9, 2007

PASCAGOULA – The November 6th election in Mississippi included a non-binding referendum to stop the plans of the Mississippi Band of Choctaws to build a new casino. The referendum was approved by 60 percent of the voters.

Choctaw tribal leaders said the election was not part of the approval process, and they will continue seeking a permit to build a casino on their land. They must first get permission from the U.S. Department of Interior, and then negotiate a compact with the Mississippi governor.

If successful, they plan to build a casino resort with 2,300 slot machines, a 400-seat restaurant, and a 1,100-room hotel. There may also be 240,000 square feet of shopping area and a 27-hole golf course.
