Kenosha casino plan advances to final federal review stage

Federal officials have entered the final review phase for a proposed casino in Kenosha, Wisconsin, following the close of public comments on its environmental study.

At this stage, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the U.S. Department of the Interior are reviewing the full administrative record for the draft environmental assessment. What they decide next will determine whether the project clears the federal hurdle. If it does, the proposal will land on Gov. Tony Evers’ desk for another review and the ultimate call.
