SANTA ROSA, Calif. (AP) - A northern California Native American tribe has purchased a Sonoma County rehabilitation center from the Salvation Army.
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports (https://bit.ly/2kqrely ) that escrow closed Tuesday on the $30 million purchase by the Lytton Band of Pomo Indians. The tribe used proceeds from their East Bay casino to purchase the Salvation Army’s 564-acre Lytton Springs rehabilitation center north of Healdsburg.
A tribe spokesman says there are not specific plans for the property, but officials are considering the site for a resort hotel or a winery and vineyard. He says the property will not be a casino.
The Salvation Army decided to sell the property last year, with plans to use the proceeds to build a larger facility in the San Francisco Bay Area.
