BizTimes Wisconsin Morning Headlines: Sheboygan officials go public with casino plan

By Jim Butman

Sheboygan officials went public Thursday night with a proposal by a northern Wisconsin Indian tribe and the owners of the Blue Harbor Resort to build an off-reservation casino in the city's South Pier District, a development city leaders are calling a "game changer." Officials confirmed that Claremont New Frontier Resort LLC, which owns Blue Harbor, and the Sokaogon Chippewa Community of Mole Lake are exploring building a casino near the city's waterfront, though they didn't offer specifics. This marks the first time the city has publicly acknowledged what has been rumored and reported on for about two months by local media regarding a potential casino deal.
