"Study Shows Gaming Facility Would Create 3,966 New Jobs in York County"
The Catawba Indian Nation has filed a lawsuit against South Carolina seeking to enforce compliance with the Settlement Agreement the Tribe signed with the State of South Carolina in 1993.
William Harris, newly elected Chief of the Catawba Nation, says the purpose of the lawsuit is to assert the legal rights of the Catawba Tribe and, at the same time, to bring significant economic benefit to the Tribe and the York county area, including nearly 4,000 permanent new jobs. "The economic development we seek for the Tribe would also be a major boost to the local economy," Chief Harris said.
