Ho-Chunk Nation considers development near Madison casino
MADISON (AP) — The Ho-Chunk Nation is looking into a development near its Madison casino that could include a sports complex, museum and entertainment venue.
The tribe is working with city officials, property owners and others to explore the potential for almost 48 acres next to Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison.
Mayor Paul Soglin tells the Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/1Cpxc3e ) the city's interested, but discussions are still at an early stage.
Missy Tracy is the municipal relations coordinator for Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison. She says it's too early to estimate a cost or timetable.
The leading ideas include a sports complex, cultural attraction or museum and entertainment venue. Tracy says the development could also include retail, lodging and ecotourism.
