Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa proposes a major casino in Grand Forks, ND, amid tribal opposition.

The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa proposes a $280-$300 million casino in Grand Forks, ND, supported by local officials but opposed by the Spirit Lake Tribe, which fears revenue diversion. Senate Bill 2376 would allow the expansion, aiming to attract 900,000 visitors annually, create 800 jobs, and boost the local economy by $71.9 million. The project, funded by tribal and private funds, faces opposition due to lack of consultation with other tribes.
