Public could chime in on casino by MarchJun 10 2008, 4:23 PM LITTLE BOSTON North End residents will have to wait a little longer before a public meeting regarding the new Point Casino.
The Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe is still working through the program that will revel casino plans and potential designs, and hopes to present it to different community groups and residents in March. The already stated nearly 100,000 square-foot casino and hotel resort was hoped to be constructed by the end of 2008, but that aggressive schedule has been pushed back slightly, said tribal Chief Executive Officer Doug Quade. Promising a public meeting as early as December 2007, he said that timeline has also been pushed back to meet when the casino program will be completed.
"We're about four weeks from completing the program," he said. "That includes design and finance stuff, and a financial schedule and contracting. We're confirming the program. We're considering doing (public meetings)."
