Proposed layout of the Shiloh Resort and Casino near Windsor, CA.

It’s called the Shiloh Resort and Casino. The controversial project, proposed by the Koi Nation of Southeastern Pomo, is still in the planning stages.

The next step is an environmental impact statement - known as an EIS - soon to be prepared by the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

And the clock has started ticking for public input.

As proposed, the resort and casino consists of a 400-room hotel, an event center, spa, restaurants, and over 100,000 square feet of casino floor; sitting on nearly 70 acres just outside the Town of Windsor.

The Koi Nation do not have any reservation land, deprived in part due to a clerical error at the Bureau of Indian Affairs; but the tribe does own the vineyard-covered parcel just south of the Windsor town limit on Shiloh Road where the casino is proposed.

An environmental assessment has already been completed for the project.

The project EIS will examine the extent of impacts to the area, and explore alternatives to the proposed development.

Public comment on the Shiloh Resort and Casino environmental impact statement can be submitted to the Bureau of Indian Affairs by April 8th.
