Mar. 2 Tribal leaders will break ground next week on the Wilton Rancheria casino in Elk Grove, tribal officials announced Tuesday.
The planned March 9 groundbreaking on what was the abandoned ghost mall property in Elk Grove comes three months after Las Vegas gaming firm Boyd Gaming Corp., purchased the 64-acre site for an undisclosed amount.
Construction is slated to begin soon after the ceremonial shovel turn with plans to open to the public in the second half of 2022. After years of planning, our focus will now turn to bringing the tribe s vision for this project to life, Keith Smith, Boyd Gaming president and chief executive officer, said in a statement Tuesday announcing the plans.
