Certify environmental review for Point Molate casino and resort project
In Plain English
The Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria want to build a casino, hotel, and shopping complex at Point Molate near the Richmond Bridge. State law requires cities to complete environmental studies before approving major developments. If approved, this certification means the environmental review meets legal requirements and the project can move to the next approval phase.
