StumbleHotel rooms, golf course set for gaming property
Monday, Oct. 23, 2000 | 11:45 a.m.
KINDER, La. -- The Grand Casino Coushatta in southwest Louisiana will add two hotels, a conference center, a golf course and a swimming pool.
The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana predicts the $100 million project near Kinder will create 900 jobs, bringing total employment at the tribe's casino to nearly 4,000. It will also create 300 construction jobs.
"This means more jobs, business, sales taxes and infrastructure in Kinder," said Kinder Mayor Fred Ashy.
A competitor, the Tunica-Biloxi Indians' Grand Casino Avoyelles in Marksville, has also been expanding.
The two Indian casinos are an hour and a half apart, and both draw visitors from Texas and south Louisiana as well as from central Louisiana.
