I haven't been paying close attention about the Casino's

Are we getting three of them, and where are they going?

1. Still no sites decided on yet

One possible site was at the Wycoff Country club out this way in Holyoke, but the "mayor" (a KID, IMO) says he doesn't want it in "his" city, although he does want to make sure Holyoke residents qualify for whatever jobs there might be.


They're still discussing possible sites in Palmer and Springfield. The one in Springfield is a large industrial complex site that's being torn down. Near a highway, but that area (I used to work in that site) can get clogged just from rush hour traffic.


So that's the state of things out this way. I don't know what might be going on in the Boston area, though.

2. There's a site selection committee but

any town can refuse by referendum if they, (like Holyoke probably) don't want it.

It will take a year or more before ground is broken, on any of the 3, I'm sure.

By the time they are all built and up, who knows?
