Wagoner County, Oklahoma officials recently unanimously approved the Muscogee (Creek) Nation’s plans for a travel plaza with a small casino on 35 acres in Coweta. Muscogee Nation Gaming Enterprises will oversee the project in partnership with River Spirit Casino Resort and I-5 Design-Build.
Coweta City Manager Roger Kolman said, “The city of Coweta is aware the Muscogee (Creek) Nation has purchased land located at 131st and Highway 51 in Coweta, land that has been vacant for a long time. We welcome new economic development within Coweta that complies with all applicable land use regulations and requirements. The Muscogee (Creek) Nation has been a valued community partner, and we anticipate that the Nation will continue to invest in Coweta and in Coweta’s future.”
No date was given for starting construction of the facility.
