Bill Harris, the Catawba Nation Chief, has told the public that the nation is still working with the gaming commission on these issues. According to the agreement, that company was granted some level of authority over the casino that may run afoul of federal law. In March 2022, the National Indian Gaming Commission expressed concerns about a specific lease agreement between the Catawba Tribe and a business entity named Kings Mountain Sky Boat Partners, LLC. Tribal leaders promised hundreds of jobs and other positive economic activity for neighboring Cleveland County when the project was announced. Here we are in November of 2022, and it hasn’t broken ground yet. Construction on the opulent $275 million permanent casino and resort was supposed to start at the end of 2021. The Two Kings Casino currently operates out of a temporary space off of I-95. Recent developments, however, indicate this may not be the case. The Catawba Nation previously said that the inquiry was nothing more than a standard review. We previously noted how federal authorities were reviewing some of the details of the business dealings behind the Kings Mountain Casino.
