Construction of New Petoskey Casino Set to Begin

Construction of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians' new casino in Petoskey will be getting underway shortly, according to tribal chairman Frank Ettawageshik, with concrete work to begin within the next few days. The new casino will include 1500 slot machines, 30 table games, six poker tables and a theater with a capacity of up to 1,000. Also planned are a buffet restaurant and fine dining establishment.

The new casino will be located in Resort Township, just West of the existing Wal-Mart shopping center in Bear Creek Township. Lears road will be extended West to provide access to the property from U.S. 131. The new casino, which will include a high-rise hotel, will be joined in the area by a Lowe's Home Improvement center, which is planned for the property just south of the Wal-Mart shopping center.

The new casino, which is scheduled to open in June of 2007, is being built by Clark Construction Company.

I am an unemployed accountant in Sparta, Michigan which is 10 miles North of Grand Rapids. My wife and I would like to work for the new casino when it opens in June, 2007.
We love the area. I am originally from Cadillac so I know Petoskey quite well.

The casino is scheduled to open on June 20, 2007. I called the marketing department to try to get some pre-opening photos, and they declined. (I think most people have no idea what a blog is.) Hopefully the casino is nicer than the marketing department.
