The Tule River Tribe of California seeking federal approval for an off-reservation casino.
The tribe operates the Eagle Mountain Casino on its reservation. A location closer to the city of Porterville would draw in more customers, administrator Rodney Martin said.
"We're going to be creating upwards of 1,000 jobs and creating a major draw for this area," Martin was quoted as saying. "Right now people are leaving Porterville and driving to Fresno or Visalia for their entertainment. We're looking to change that."
The city supports gaming on the tribe's 40-acre site.
