Feb 28, 2020

The Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi (NHBP), an MLC client and owners of FireKeepers Casino Hotel, announced their lifetime contributions to the State of Michigan and the FireKeepers Local Revenue Sharing Board (FLRSB) have topped $200 million. “Contributing over $217 million creates an awesome impact for our state and local region and this announcement is a milepost of great pride for tribal members of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi and the staff and management of FireKeepers Casino Hotel,” announced Jamie Stuck, Tribal Council Chairperson of the NHBP.

Two checks were presented this week from NHBP; a check for $18.9 million to the State of Michigan, an increase of 2.31% from 2019 and a check for $5.8 million to the FLRSB, which is an increase of 1.86% from the prior year. The funds distributed are part of a negotiated agreement between NHBP and the State of Michigan.
