Most of the construction workers belong to local unions. Upwards of 750 jobs will be created during the course of the project.

"We go, we take one step at a time,” Chairman Greg Sarris told The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat. “It was never a dream for us; it was a reality.”

The casino is expected to open in late 2013.
