Michigan tribe not worried about industry changes

A spokesperson for the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi says the Michigan tribe won't be changing its plans for a casino despite shifts in the Indian gaming industry.

The industry grew to $19 billion in 2004 but Michigan is seeing a slowdown, according to a recent report from the Analysis Group. But the tribe believes the market will support its casino, the spokesperson said.

The tribe wants to open a casino on 79 acres of newly acquired land. The proposal has been tied up in litigation for several years and is finally moving forward after legal challenges were rejected.
