Ho-Chunk Nation Says Proposed Rockford Casino Not Causing Beloit Delays

A spokesperson for the Ho-Chunk Nation says a casino proposal in Rockford, Illinois isn’t why plans for a casino Beloit are being delayed.  Ryan Greendeer says the Bureau of Indian Affairs is taking a lot of time to examine the Beloit application.  That application has been held at the federal level for more than 10 months.  Greendeer says original plans were for a groundbreaking near the end of summer.  Now, it may not happen this year.
