Koi Nation awaits federal decision on California casino land trust
The Koi Nation is waiting for the US Interior Secretary to decide whether 68 acres in Sonoma County can be placed in trust, according to a report. The tribe bought the parcel for $12.3 million in 2021 and plans a $600 million casino and resort there, but faces opposition from other tribes and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
The trust decision will determine whether the Koi Nation can advance its proposed casino project in California.
