For Star subscribers: Approval of the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act paves the way for a new casino on Tucson's west side.
President Biden has signed the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act into law, paving the way for the tribe to build a new casino at Grant Road and Interstate 10, as well as new housing and preservation of religious buildings at the site.
Known as Old Pascua, the land was donated in 1920 to the tribe and several families relocated there and created a sacred ceremonial site. When the tribe received federal recognition as a tribal land in 1978, Old Pascua was not included.People are also reading… The Pascua Yaqui Tribe bought the former Tucson 5 Drive-in, turned Century Park 16 theaters, in 2011 for $4.65 million — adjacent to Old Pascua.
The intergovernmental agreement was approved by the City Council, and as part of the agreement, the tribe would make “payments in lieu of tax” that are “for almost all currently predicted uses at the site.”The city would continue providing services such as law enforcement, fire protection and emergency services, traffic controls, trash/recycling and transit. Tucson police officers would be cross-deputized by the tribe to issue citations and make arrests or pursuits on tribal land.
