The Bureau of Indian Affairs is preparing an environmental impact statement on a New Mexico tribe's proposal for an off-reservation casino.
Jemez Pueblo and art dealer Gerald Peters are planning a 24,000-square-foot temporary casino on 111 acres in the southern part of the state. The temporary facility would be replaced by a 48,000-square-foot casino plus a hotel.
In a Federal Register notice being published today, the BIA says it will hold a public hearing on March 16. Public comments are being accepted until April 18.
