Brown County officials have shelved plans to host an off-reservation casino proposed by the Lac du Flambeau Chippewa, leading the town of Lawrence to lament over the demise.

The town board had approved a $49 million casino complex. It would have given the town and county $96.5 million over 20 years.

The tribe has proposals pending in other communities.
