“The MA-18 has all the features we need when it comes to economic development,” CTFC chief executive Kary Nichols said in a statement. “After consulting with our architects, we are confident that the MA-18 could be the home of our new tourist attraction, business, and tourism destination from the north-west with our state-of-the-art casino, golf course, and concert venue.”
These programs also include 100 housing development sites that are located across various locations in Chelan, Pateros, and Azwell.
Nichols said that housing is scarce and increasingly variant across the region. MA-18 aims at providing adequate housing and residential facilities for the people of the society and the new MA-18 site will provide them with new innovative features and facilities.
The land is owned almost by Colville Tribes, said Tony Posey, chief executive officer of Colville Gaming LLC, in contrast to Manson’s “separate” property, with many people and organizations owning a portion of the property.

Profits from CTFC businesses support government programs for Colville Tribes, including forest management and firefighting efforts.
“We look forward to the opportunity to bring more jobs, more housing, and more tourism to our community, and look forward to welcoming everyone into our new space,” he said.
