This week The Cherokee Scout announced the latest on Cherokee County, NC having a chance at a Class II gaming facility that covers several types of gambling including lotto, pull-tabs, bingo and some types of card games.
The Eastern Band owns property in Andrews, Marble, near the Western Carolina Regional Airport, just northeast of Murphy, and a large portion between Hanging Dog Road and Joe Brown Highway for a total of 5,367 acres in Cherokee County. A gaming facility on tribal land could sell alcohol if it desires, even in the unincorporated portion of the county.
Like many other counties struggling in these economic times, the possibility that a gaming facility could draw 3.5 to 4 million people to the county and the many jobs that will open up, I’d say that most of Cherokee County, NC are hoping these “rumors” will come to fruition in the very near future.
