CRYSTAL SHORES CASINO
A NEW GAMING FACILITY COMING SOON!
The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians is excited to announce plans for a new gaming facility in Benzie County, located at 7282 Hoadley Road, near the intersection of US-31 and M-115 highways. This development represents a significant step forward for the Tribe and the surrounding community.
Economic Growth & Job Creation
This new facility is a significant step in the Tribe’s efforts to foster economic growth and create new employment opportunities, both for the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and the local community. By expanding its gaming operations, GTB aims to make a positive impact on the regional economy.
A Historic Land Restoration
The site of the new gaming facility is part of land that was restored to the Tribe following its federal recognition. The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians trust land in Benzie County reflects a long history of restoration and growth since the Tribe’s federal recognition, and the new facility will be an important part of the Tribe’s ongoing development.
Collaboration with Local and State Authorities
In line with the Tribe’s tradition of fostering open and productive relationships with local and state authorities, GTB has been engaging with relevant officials to ensure a smooth development process. The Tribe is dedicated to maintaining an open dialogue with stakeholders and the local community to address any questions and ensure the project aligns with regional interests.
Existing Gaming Facilities
The Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa & Chippewa Indians currently operates two successful gaming facilities: Turtle Creek Casino in Williamsburg and Leelanau Sands Casino in Peshawbestown. This new facility will complement these existing operations and expand the Tribe’s role in the region’s economy.
Timeline & Next Steps
While the exact timeline for the opening of the new gaming facility is still in development, the Tribe is excited to continue moving forward with plans and anticipates more details in the coming months.
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new project!
