Ho-Chunk Nation buys casino land
By ANN MARIE AMES - Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009
BELOIT --

That’s why the Ho-Chunk on Thursday bought 26 acres of land near Interstate 90/39 from a developer for $4 million, Ho-Chunk Vice President Daniel Brown said. The Ho-Chunk intends to place the land in trust.
The Ho-Chunk announcement was a surprise to the Bad River and St. Croix Chippewa, said Joe Hunt, casino project spokesman for the tribes. But it doesn’t stop the tribes’ efforts to bring a casino to Beloit, he said.
