Eastern Shawnee Tribe makes another land deal

The Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma has made another land deal in hopes of building a casino in Ohio.

The tribe has plans to buy 137 acres in Lordstown off the Ohio Turnpike. Local officials support the deal and approached the tribe about hosting a casino.

The tribe already closed on land deals in three other locations in the state. As many as nine sites are being eyed.
