The Keweenaw Bay Indian Community in Michigan is moving forward with a $40 million gaming expansion project. The tribe will spend $28 million to build an entirely new Ojibwa Casino in Baraga. Another $12 million will be spent to expand the facility in Marquette. "It's going to be very modern chic is what I call it," CEO Larry Denomine told Upper Michigan's Source of the project. "They will feel nice; they will feel comfortable when they are in there." Tribal members approved both projects in an election last December. Get the Story:
