KENNEWICK, Wash. (AP) — The Colville Tribes have bought land just outside Pasco, Washington, that could be used for a casino and other economic projects.
The 184 acres purchased are in Franklin County just north of Pasco.
Rodney Cawston, chairman of the Colville Business Council, says the tribes’ planned economic development is intended to provide employment for Colville members and members of other tribes in the area, as well as for the surrounding communities in general.
The Colville Tribes already have casinos in Omak, Coulee Dam and Manson.
