ESPANOLA, N.M. -- Santa Clara Pueblo plans to open a casino in downtown Espanola by March on property the pueblo owns.

The casino is meant to help get the pueblo out of economic difficulties that increased after May's Cerro Grande Fire in northern New Mexico burned parts of Santa Clara Canyon, where the pueblo government has charged for recreation permits, said pueblo attorney Richard Hughes.
