Совет города Паско рассмотрит проект казино резервации Колвилл

PASCO, Wash. — The Pasco City Council will hear from the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation on an economic development project that includes the construction of a casino resort on an 160 acre site in the King City area, a commercial and industrial hub off SR 395. Jarred-Michael Erickson, chairman of the Colville Business Council, and Cody Desautel, executive director of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, are scheduled to present the project’s background, goals and current status during Monday evening’s regular council meeting. The presentation will outline how the project took shape through joint work with local agencies and explain the Tribes’ historical connection to Pasco and the surrounding area. Agreements tied to the project over the past several years include a deal made in principle with the City of Pasco in November 2019, a letter of intent with Franklin County PUD in November 2020 and a public safety cooperation agreement with the Franklin County Sheriff in August 2021. Additional agreements included a June 2022 cooperation agreement with the Port of Pasco covering possible impact mitigation and future joint efforts, as well as a November 2022 municipal services agreement with the city for services if the property enters trust status.
