The State of California is expected to move forward with the process to approve the relocation of Eagle Mountain Casino to Porterville as soon as next week.

In preparation of that expected process, the Porterville City Council will consider a letter of support for state approval of the relocation at its meeting at 6:30 p.m. today.

The city stated it has been informed by the Tule River Tribe it anticipates Governor Gavin Newsom to approve its new Compact and recommend its approval to the State Legislature the week of August 10.
