John Berrey, business committee chairman for the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma, told commissioners that the tribe has decided on a truck route that would avoid Tennessee Prairie Friends Church. He said the tribe would pay to repair and maintain County Road 110 and Prairie Road that would lead to the delivery entrance for the tribe’s Downstream Casino Resort. The casino for the $301 million project is scheduled to open July 5. The tribal casino’s parking lot is in Cherokee County and Berrey said the casino has bought an additional 146 acres in Cherokee County for retail development. Richard Klemp, vice president for government relations with Penn National Gaming, reported to commissioners that the Kansas Gaming Facility Review Board would make a final decision on its contract for a $125 million Hollywood Casino. The review board would conduct a public hearing at the Columbus Community Center on July 9. Klemp said the casino is scheduled to open in mid-2010.
