The project includes a 180,800 square-foot casino with 2,000 gaming devices and 45 table games as well as a four-star hotel with full service to its 500 rooms pool spa and more. If all approvals are met, construction of the Siletz Casino Project could begin in Salem between 20. If approved by the Secretary of Interior, Governor Kate Brown will have a year to pass or reject the project. The Bureau of Indian Affairs is currently reviewing the Siletz Tribe’s application, which was submitted in the summer of 2020. However, this project, which was conceived years ago, is still awaiting federal approval, and faces opposition from the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde.
The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indiansannounced it has proposed a North Salem casino project in Oregon that is estimated to generate 2,300 construction jobs and $141 million in wages during construction.
