Tribal officials say they will continue to monitor any updates at the federal level to its $405 million Beloit proposal. In May the tribe saw movement on the plan, and at the time, expected a federal ruling on the proposal over the summer.
At the same time Hard Rock International plans to construct a casino on the former Clock Tower Resort site along the Interstate in Rockford.
