(US).- If Governor Walker approves the project, the old Dairyland dog track site will be renovated into a temporary casino. Phase 2 would be completed about four years and will include a hotel, spa, and pool.

Once the temporary casino is up and running, phase one of construction will begin, which includes a gaming facility with 2,700 slot machines, 100 table games and 24 pokers games, plus an  entertainment area for concerts and retail spots.

All together there is a new estimated price tag of USD 810 million. A casino spokesperson told CBS 58 the project has been gaining support thanks to the potential jobs and economic development it could bring.

The city of Milwaukee and the Potawatomi and Ho-chunk tribes continue to oppose a new Menominee Tribe casino. The governor has long said he won’t approve the casino unless all 11 tribes are on board.

An independent study on the project and its impact was commissioned by Walker's administration and is expected to be completed this summer.
In April the Department of the Interior granted a 180-day extension to Walker. Governor Walker will have until February 19th to make a final decision.
