(NECN: Middleborough, Mass.) - Federal officials were in Middleborough, Massachusetts Tuesday night to seek input as they consider the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's request to put land in trust for the facility.

Town residents have their chance to debate the proposed gambling casino in their town.

A second hearing will be held Wednesday in Mashpee.

The tribe wants to build its administrative, housing and educational facilities on 140 acres in the Cape Cod town.

House lawmakers voted to killed Governor Patrick's casino plan last week.

The Mashpee tribe still has the ability to open a gaming resort under the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.

NECN's John Moroney has the latest.
