A board that will distribute gaming revenues from the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi Indians is weighing four suggested plans.
One plan was submitted by the tribe. The tribe's representative on the board said it was meant to benefit schools and areas that are most affected by the FireKeepers Casino.
The FireKeepers Local Revenue Sharing Board will ask local governments to comment on the plans before making a final decision.
The tribe's Class III gaming compact calls for 2 percent of slot machine profits to be shared with the community. The first payment was $1.93 million, double what was expected.
