Vallejo casino project is revived by DC Court
October 12, 2022
The possibility of building the Vallejo casino proposed by the Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians in 2016, and rejected by the US Department of Interior in 2019, has been revived by the US District Court in DC.
In a Sep. 30th ruling, the Court agreed with the tribe's claim of ancestral ties to the Vallejo area and ordered the Interior Department to reopen the tribe's casino application and reconsider the "inescapable" historical evidence supporting the homeland claims of the Scotts Valley Indians.
The future of the tribe's Vallejo Casino is now pending with the U.S. Department of Interior. No timeline for a decision has been announced.
