Wampanoags Finalize Land Deal
Panel Appointed To Study Issue
MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Wampanoag tribe's purchase of a possible casino site in Middleboro is a done deal.
The tribe's backer paid $1.8 million and the Wampanoags now control 108 acres of land, with an option to buy 220 more.
The tribe and abutting landowners haven't said much about future deals. Tribal Chairman Glenn Marshall said he wants 1,000 acres for a casino.
Marshall also hasn't ruled out New Bedford as a possible casino site.
Casino gambling isn't legal in Massachusetts, but Gov. Deval Patrick has appointed a panel to study the issue.
