East Windsor Ct Casino Update카테고리 없음 2021. 8. 18. 23:55
East Windsor is one step closer to having a casino after the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes selected the town as the site of a possible third gaming facility in Connecticut.
This hour, we ask, how will this plan transform East Windsor and the region?
Connecticut governor wants tribes to drop East Windsor casino plan, add gambling to XL Center in Hartford Posted Aug 05, 2019 These renderings released by the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot Tribes. Dec 09, 2020 The Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribes announced they're hitting pause on the proposed Tribal Winds Casino in East Windsor. In a joint statement released by the two tribes, leaders attributed. A spokesman said the tribal leaders recently briefed local and state officials about their planned delay of the $300 million East Windsor casino, which has faced numerous hurdles, including delays in federal approvals and legal challenges from rival MGM Resorts, which opened a casino in nearby Springfield, Massachusetts, in 2018 and has sought to block the tribes’ project since 2015. East Hartford, Ellington, Enfield, South Windsor, Windsor Locks, and Hartford are slated to each receive $750,000 annually from the tribes as compensation for impacts to those communities.
The town’s Board of Selectmen fully support the project-voting unanimously in favor. First Selectman Robert Maynard joins us and we hear from an East Windsor resident who believes a casino will be bad news for the town’s future.
Do you think a third Connecticut casino will usher in the promise of jobs and sustained growth? Or will it be detrimental to local communities?
Plus, Major League Baseball is in the midst of a rule change that has baseball purists up in arms.
