Fruitport Area Casino Being Considered

Rumblings of a new casino in West Michigan grew louder last week when Fruitport Land Development announced it sold 93 acres in Fruitport Township to the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians.

The tribe, which owns and operates a casino in Manistee, has not firmed up plans or received approval to proceed, according to tribal Public Affairs Director Glenn Zaring.

"We are currently going through the steps to explore establishing a casino on the property but are examining a number of development options, as well," Zaring said.
Everything is still on the table, he added.
