Eagle Mountain Casino's relocation is approved by Tulare County

January 12, 2020

The plan of the Tule River Indian Tribe to move their Eagle Mountain Casino from the Tule River Reservation to a 40-acre site near the municipal airport in Porterville, California was approved by the Tulare County Board of Supervisors last week.

Under an agreement between the county and the tribe, the Tule River Indians will pay Tulare County a $550,000 annual fee for general support services. An addition $3.5 million will be paid to the county sheriff's department for law enforcement, and $48,667 annually will be paid for fire services unless the tribe builds a fire station at the casino.

The federal Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has approved the relocation of Eagle Mountain Casino.

Final approval is needed from Gov. Newsom, who has until Oct. 17, 2020 to make that decision.

The official date of the federal approval was October 7 when the Record of Decision (ROD) was signed by the BIA Assistant Secretary in accordance with the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. According to The Porterville Recorder newspaper, the BIA has also approved the transfer of the new casino site into federal trust for the Tule River Tribe.

That land transfer into trust leaves only the negotiation of a gaming compact between the governor and the tribe before construction can start.

Eagle Mountain Casino relocation is approved by Porterville

July 30, 2019

The Porterville City Council voted unanimously today to approve an agreement with the Tule River Tribe to move the Eagle Mountain Casino to a new location next to the Porterville Municipal Airport.

The Tule River Tribe agrees to pay the city nearly $1M annually for law enforcement, fire protection and traffic enforcement. It will also share in the cost of upgrading the roads surrounding the new casino location.

The tribe wants to move their casino to a 40-acre parcel it owns adjacent to the Porterville airport. If approved by the U.S. Department of Interior, the tribe will build a new $200M casino on that site. The casino will be 105,000 square feet with a 250-room hotel, a 1,700-seat event venue, restaurants, sports bar, buffet, food court, convention space and a parking garage.

Eagle Mountain Casino Relocation Delayed

August 31, 2018

The Tule River Tribe had hoped their federal application to move their Eagle Mountain Casino to property near the Porterville Municipal Airport would have been approved by now. However, the decision has been delayed by a new Environmental Impact Review process, which now requires more time issue a report.

Tribal Chairman Neil Peyron issued this statement yesterday:

'A comprehensive environmental impact statement has been prepared to determine the impacts of the project on the local economy, infrastructure and the environment. We had hoped that the draft environmental impact statement would be released to the public this summer. However, the federal government is implementing efforts to modernize and streamline the entire environmental review process and we are working through the new process. We support the efforts of the federal government to improve the environmental review process and reduce processing times. We believe that the new streamlined process will eventually expedite the review in the long run.'

Eagle Mountain Casino relocation approval expected in July

February 24, 2018

It is expected that a final decision will be made by the federal government will be made in July over the request to relocate Eagle Mountain Casino.

The casino is owned by the Tule River Tribe. Members of the tribe and their associates met with Chamber of Commerce in Porterville for Government Affairs Meeting. This meeting gave the tribe a chance to present updates on the proposed casino relocation.

The tribe wants to move close to the Porterville Municipal Airport. The property is 40 acres and must be moved into trust before the casino project can move forward. The new casino would be multiple floors and cost between $180 to $200 million to build.

An environmental impact statement has previously been prepared and submitted.

If approved, the new casino would offer a casino of 105,000 square feet in size. There would be a hotel with 250 guest rooms. There would also be restaurants, lounges, convention space, meeting space, a parking structure, and administration offices. Also, there would be an entertainment event center with 1,700 seats.

530 new job positions would be created to work in the casino operations. That would be in addition to the over 600 current casino. Current casino employees would be given the option of transferring to the new casino.

There is also interest to build a new fire station on the proposed property.

It was announced that Office of Indian Gaming Indian Affairs is currently reviewing the matter.
