Little River Ottawa Proposal to Game in Muskegon
From Indianz:
Little River Band interested in off-reservation casino
The Little River Band of Ottawa Indians is entering the off-reservation casino game in Muskegon, Michigan.
The tribe plans to make a presentation to the city commission on Monday. Ogema Larry Romanelli says the tribe is interested in a casino in Muskegon — about 80 miles from tribal headquarters in Manistee. The Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians recently proposed an off-reservation casino in Muskegon. The tribe’s headquarters are about 500 miles away. The Grand River Band of Ottawa Indians, an unrecognized tribe, is also interested in a casino in the city.

I feel since LRBOI already has a well established casino and is closer and a Recognized Tribe, they stand the best chance to come out of these presentations with the opportunity to start another casino.
