About Economic Development in Taunton

The Tribe and its Gaming Authority have assessed many different options for economic development on our sovereign land. What started as a modest Welcome Center with 10 slot machines that opened in January of 2025, has developed into First Light “A Native Casino” that now holds over 200 games. For the Wampanoag People, the projects we undertake will represent growth, progression, and opportunity while revitalizing the economic future for the City of Taunton, as well as our great state and our tribal nation.
