"The Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians announced last Friday that it has broke ground for sitework and initial tribal government offices in Vallejo. According to Patrick Bergin with Scotts Valley, the groundbreaking began on Thursday afternoon and the offices will be located on the tribe's trust land located at 200 Columbus Parkway. The tribe is looking to develop a 400,000 square-foot casino in Vallejo at that same site. According to Bergin, the staking was begun by laborers on Thursday."
"The project includes the construction of 24 single-family residences, a tribal administration building, parking garage and a 45-acre biological preserve area on a 160-acre property located within and adjacent to the city boundary in Solano County, near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Highway 37. The casino facility, at a cost of $700 million, would be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
Scotts Valley Band of Pomo Indians began sitework and construction of initial tribal government offices on trust land at 200 Columbus Parkway in Vallejo. The 160-acre project site includes plans for 24 single-family residences, a tribal administration building, a parking garage, and a 45-acre biological preserve. The tribe intends to develop a 400,000-square-foot, 24/7 casino at the same site with an estimated cost of $700 million, pending federal gaming authorization. Studies conducted for the Bureau of Indian Affairs found the project would employ thousands of existing Vallejo and Solano County residents and provide a major economic boost. The casino phase remains delayed by litigation.
