Tribal officials propose road improvements near Downstream Casino

COLUMBUS, Kan. — Officials with the Quapaw Tribe of Oklahoma on Tuesday presented proposals to the Cherokee County Commission to improve county roads near the tribe’s Downstream Casino Resort.
John Berrey, chairman of the tribe’s business committee; Jack Brill, the tribe’s attorney; and Alan Mauk, a tribe consultant, appeared before the commission.
“It would also be a step forward in us working with you guys,” Berrey said.
Berrey said the tribe wants to widen Stateline Road leading to the Tri-State Monument so the road is the same width as the boulevard that will lead to the casino and hotel. The entrance road crosses Stateline Road, he said.
Berrey said officials in Newton County, Mo., have agreed to the proposal for that side of the road.
He also said the tribe would like to build a cul-de-sac, curb and guttering, and lighting for the monument.
“We just think it’s going to be a pretty cool place to fix up,” Berrey said.
The tribe also would like to use County Road 110 for heavy truck traffic for deliveries. Berrey said the tribe would agree to maintain the road if the commissioners allow the tribe to use it. The road, which is west of the casino and hotel and runs north and south, links to U.S. Highway 166 to the north.
“We would provide the maintenance dollars to upgrade it and maintain it,” Berrey said.
He said tribes are eligible for federal money for road improvements, something the Quapaws have done previously in Ottawa County, Okla.
“We’ve built several roads with those funds” in Ottawa County, Berrey said.
Penn plan
Berrey also said if Penn National Gaming were to begin using the road for its casino in the future, the Quapaw Tribe would like to establish an agreement with the county to share the cost of maintenance with the competing casino.
