There is tremendously great news for the Tejon Indian Tribe! The federal government has granted final approval for the Tejon Tribe to proceed with building the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon.
The U.S. Department of the Interior agreed this week to transfer 320 acres of land near highways 99 and 166 into federal trust for the tribe. The federal trust grants tribal sovereignty over the land and allows for casino gaming and construction of new housing for tribal members.
A press release from the tribe said:
"The Tejon Tribe now has a homeland where its citizens can work and live together and collectively ensure a safe and economic environment for all."
- Octavio Escobedo III, Tejon Chairman
The U.S. Department of the Interior also announced approval of the state-tribe gaming compact signed by Gov. Newsom and ratified by the Assembly last August. The compact authorizes Class III gaming, which includes Vegas-style slot machines and table games.
The Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon project has previously been approved by state, county and local governments.

After a five-year review the U.S. Department of Interior will soon decide whether to approve a casino application from the Tejon Indian Tribe to build a Hard Rock Hotel and Casino south of Bakersfield, California. The decision is expected within 3-4 weeks.
The Tejon Tribe is proposing a $600 million casino with a 400-room hotel, Rock Spa and fitness center, 13 restaurants, a Hard Rock Live entertainment venue, convention space, retail space and an RV park.
If the application is approved, the federal government will transfer the casino land into federal trust for the tribe. This removes the land from state regulations and places it under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Indian Gaming Regulation.

Tejon Indian Tribe has reached a major milestone in its efforts to build a $600 million Indian gaming casino and hotel south of Bakersfield, California.
Last Wednesday the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs held a public hearing to discuss a recently drafted Enviromental Impact Study on the 306-acre site for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Tejon project. The environmental study began in 2015 and a draft report was completed last month. That report found little environmental impact will be created by construction of the project.
During the meeting the BIA sought public comments on the draft report. Many Kern County government officials and business leaders addressed the meeting and voiced their strong support for the casino. Their comments will be important and considered in final environmental impact statement.
"Today is important because it is a step toward reestablishing a tribal homeland for the Tejon Indian Tribe," said Tejon Tribe Chairman Octavio Escobedo.
Kern Economic Development Corp. President and CEO. Richard Chapman, made this comment:
"This is really a game changer. We've all heard about the $600 million impact of the project, but that does not count the future, new money coming into our economy. This is going to create much needed economic parity."
The tribe is seeking federal approval of the project to operate the casino under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. If the final environmental impact statement is approved, the Bureau of Indian Affairs will prepare to transfer the 306-acre site into federal trust for the Tejon Indian Tribe. The land-to-trust transfer grants sovereignty to the tribe and allows casino gaming under the regulation of the National Indian Gaming Commission.

The board's approval is an important milestone for the Tejon Indian Tribe in its progress towards winning federal approval to construct a casino on its reservation.
Tejon Tribe Chairman Octavio Escobedo was pleased with the 4-0 vote and said, "This is a truly historic day for the Tejon people. Everyone shares a vision of homeownership. This is our vision for a homeland."
The Tejon casino will be branded and managed by Hard Rock International. It will be a 165,500-square-foot casino with a 400-room hotel and include 13 restaurants and a concert venue.
