The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians were slated to break ground last week for its new downtown Cathedral City casino.
On October 10, the tribe announced that the casino project had been green-lit, following federal approval allowing the plot of land’s status to be changed from fee to tribal trust for gaming purposes.
“We are excited to begin construction on this large-scale investment in Cathedral City,” Tribal Chairman Jeff L. Grubbe said in October. “This project will create jobs, revitalize an undeveloped downtown property and support Cathedral City’s economic development efforts.”
The tribe will build a 13.6-acre project site for an entertainment development project in the heart of downtown Cathedral City.
