Santee Sioux Tribe holds groundbreaking for new $20M casino
The Santee Sioux Tribe of Nebraska broke ground on a new $20 million casino on Thursday. The 25,000-square-foot facility will replace the existing Ohiya Casino. It will feature a 47-room lodge with two luxury suites, a banquet facility and conference center; a convenience store and gas station and an 18-hole golf course and club house, The Yankton Press & Dakotan reported. "Today is a beautiful day," said Chairman Roger Trudell, the paper reported. "The benefits Knox County will get from this will be like none that they’ve had for a very long time." The tribe expects the casino to open in June 2012. It will create between 40 to 50 new jobs. The project was made possible thanks to a loan from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Minnesota, whose chairman, Stan Crooks, attended the groundbreaking. Get the Story:
