Federal government is considering the move of the Win-River casino in California
The casino is located next to I-5, south of S. Bonnyview Rd in Redding, CA and the tribe hopes to move it to Interstate 5 and Churn Creek Road.
US.- The Redding Rancheria’s proposed Win-River Resort & Casino move is one step closer to happen, as the Federal Government has restarted the environmental impact report process on the relocation. This is the first time they are treating this issue even though it has been applied in 2016.
The casino is a huge resort that occupies approximately 70,000 square feet. It consists of a 9-story hotel that features restaurants, conference centres, retail stores, 250 rooms and, of course, a large casino floor.
Currently, it’s located next to I-5, south of S. Bonnyview Rd in Redding, CA and the tribe hopes to move it to Interstate 5 and Churn Creek Road.
Redding Rancheria CEO Tracy Edwards, said they are very excited about the news: “Today, the federal government published in their ranks that we’re restarting our process for moving the tribe’s property into trust.”
He also reported to KRCR: “We are very pleased that this administration is following through on their commitment to work with indigenous communities and respecting tribal sovereignty.”
Even though the casino only required approval from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and does not need any permission from the City of Redding nor Shasta County, Edwards stated that the resort wants to be friendly, which is why it does everything it can to work with the city and the county.
