The Muskegon County Board of Commissioners Tuesday approved placing a question on the Nov. 4 ballot asking residents for their opinions about allowing a casino to operate in the county.
The referendum is non-binding and Tuesday’s board action comes about a month after the Manistee-based Little River Band of Ottawa Indians announced it bought Great Lakes Downs with the intention of operating a casino there.
“We’re glad to see it,” Glenn Zaring, a spokesman for the tribe, said about the Muskegon County board’s decision. “It gives us a chance to get the true figures out there for everyone.”
The tribe’s current agreement with Michigan limits it to operating only one casino in the state and it already owns and operates the Little River Casino Resort in Manistee Township.
