At PTDC, all of the gaming developments that originally began 3 years ago are once again moving forward. PTDC is currently in negotiations with one company to finance the Travel Plaza expansion; and having preliminary discussions with a second company regarding thc Chilocco gaming facility. At this time, every indication is that the Travel Plaza expansion will proceed as originally planned. The 15,000sf expansion includes 300 machines and an 85-seat restaurant.

While the expectation of expanding gaming is at the forefront, PTDC expects that a new tribally-owned construction company will be working with the general contractor on the construction of these facilities. The new construction management staff will he mentored by an established construction company. From partnering with the company in the construction of the new gaming facilities, PTDC plans to gain experience that will be taken advantage of when the two companies utilize a teaming agreement to pursue federal contracts.

Though the completion of these facilities has taken much longer than anyone had hoped, the PTDC's progress is a reflection on the Business Council's willingness to work together positively to achieve success in the best interest of the Nation. Three years of setback will be replaced with three years of progress and the outcome will be significant.
