Statistics of the Proposed Resort Casino Site

The site is comprised of several parcels which can be joined together. Three of the parcels were purchased at auction from the Town of Middleborough in the Spring of 2007 for about $1,765,000. All together the parcels owned, controlled or under option for future use by the Wampanoag Tribe is about 534 acres.

The proposed site is currently served by town water and electricity utilities. Town sewer and natural gas utilities will be brought as part of the site development at no cost to the town or its rate payers.

Although the site is along Route 44, there is no current access directly to the site. Improvements to Route 44 will be necessary in order to provide such access.

Proposed Site Plans

The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has released preliminary Plans for their facility. They released the plans to the public on March 18, 2008. They plans were widely publicized in local print and television. The two site plans are the overall plan which includes the proposed golf course and the hotel and casino plan which shows more detail on the building, placement and highway access.
