Lake Oswego developers Matt Rossman and Bruce Studer announced last week the formation of a financial partnership group that will spearhead the development of a non-tribal casino in Wood Village. The multi-million dollar Oregon Entertainment Center would be the first casino in the Portland metro area, but laws banning non-tribal casinos must be lifted before it can be constructed. The proposed development would be located at the former Multnomah Kennel Club, located at Southeast 223rd Avenue and Halsey Street in Wood Village.
