Oregon casino plans unveiled ahead of vote

Published



WOOD VILLAGE, Ore. (AP) — Developers who want to build Oregon’s first nontribal casino unveiled more details about their plans on Thursday, downplaying the casino and saying it’s just one part of a larger entertainment destination.

Officials with two Canadian companies said that they want to turn a shuttered dog track in Wood Village, east of Portland, into a complex with a casino, hotel, movie theater and pool. They hope voters will approve the plan in November, two years after a similar proposal was overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box.
