Work from other Choctaw artists will also be featured throughout the resort.

The project is expected to cost $238 million, and will create more than 400 jobs in the area. Officials anticipate the resort will have a $95 million economic impact on the region. Click here to explore job opportunities at the new resort.

The Choctaw Nation is also investing $7 million for road construction at the Choctaw Landing intersection to allow for turn lanes and traffic signals.
