The Fruitport Township Board of Trustees voted Monday to form a negotiation committee to meet with the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians when more concrete details of a proposed casino are on the table.
The board also -- for the third time -- approved a resolution of support of the tribe bringing the possible venture to the former Great Lakes Down racetrack property.
The tribe bought the land earlier this year and additional parcels nearby with plans to construct a casino and hotel.
The board twice previously had approved a resolution supporting the development -- once without a contingency calling for a municipal services agreement, and two weeks later, an amended resolution that required such an agreement. But the second approval came without a full board present.
