The
Confederated
Tribes of Siletz Indians is
proposing a North Salem
casino project that is esti-
mated to generate 2,300
construction jobs and $141
million in wages during
construction.
The Siletz conceived the
project years ago, and are
still awaiting federal ap-
proval.
The Siletz are facings op-
position from the Confed-
erated Tribes of Grand
Ronde, who years ago also
opposed the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs
Bridge of the Gods Gorge
casino prjoect.
The Siletz’ North Salem
casino is expected to gener-
ate $185.4 million in gross
revenue and bring 1,500 full
time jobs in its first year of
operation, and would be
built on tribally owned prop-
erty along interstate exit 258
to Portland.
Siletz tribes chairwoman
Delores Pigsley commented:
“This will be Oregon’s first
gaming facility to share rev-
enue with eight other feder-
ally recognized tribes, the
state of Oregon and local
governments.
“The tribe is currently
seeking a ‘two-part determi-
nation’ from the Secretary
of the Interior that the
project is in the best inter-
est of the tribe and not det-
rimental to the surrounding
community.”
The Bureau of Indian Af-
fairs is currently reviewing the
Siletz Tribes’ application, sub-
mitted in the summer of
2020.
