BOS Supports Win-River Resort Casino’s Expansion Plans

The Board of Supervisors voted to support the Rancheria's plan to relocate Win-River Resort Casino on property called the Strawberry Fields west of Interstate 5 just south of South Bonnyview Road.  This reinforces the decision made last May by the board to support the plan, now with new board members. 

Lane Rickard, Government Relations Manager for the Redding Rancheria, shared that the Rancheria is proud to play their part in giving back to the community and that their goal is is to build a world class resort, creating jobs and bringing business to Shasta County.  The Rancheria is currently in talks with Shasta County Assistant CEO Eric Magrini to discuss financial considerations for services such as law enforcement and fire services to the new casino. 

The initial Project will only use 16% of Strawberry Fields land, with the rest being left as open space, potentially manicured into walking tails and preserved space for guests to enjoy. 

The U.S. Department of Bureau of Indian Affairs will still need to approve the proposed relocation and construction before the project can begin.
