PONCA TRIBE OF NEBRASKA TO BREAK GROUND ON PRAIRIE FLOWER CASINO EXPANSION

CARTER LAKE- The Ponca Tribe of Nebraska plans to expand their Prairie Flower Casino in Carter Lake beginning next Monday.

The tribe will break ground on the new 60,000-square-foot expansion of the casino in recognition of the 32nd anniversary of the signing of the Ponca Restoration Act, which restored the federal government's formal recognition of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. 

The Prairie Flower Casino opened on November 1, 2018, and has contributed over $28 million to support Tribal services since its opening. This money has gone towards expanded healthcare, job training, cultural preservation, and social services for members of the tribe. 

Around $2.3 million has also gone to the City of Carter Lake to support its police and fire departments, infrastructure, and community improvements.
