The Spokane Tribe of Indians revealed last week more details about its planned casino in Spokane County, Washington and showed members of the host community how the venue would look.

The whole complex would spread over 145 acres of land and will be built in several phases. Tribal officials said that they are planning to break ground on Phase One in October. The project’s first phase includes the construction of a casino, restaurant, and several outdoor facilities. This original stage in the whole complex’s development is expected to take about a year to be completed.

The Spokane Tribe has formerly said that it planned to invest $400 million in the whole project. The entertainment and retail complex will be fully launched sometime in 2026, according to tribal officials. Under initial estimates, the casino would annually generate almost $5 million in tax revenue to the state, the county, and the host community. Apart from the economic benefits hinted at by tribal officials, the whole STEP (Spokane Tribe Economic Project) plan, as it has been referred to, is expected to create thousands of much-needed jobs, both construction and permanent ones.
