Now we want to know your thoughts
on Senate Bill 489
The Gr. Hudson Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors will be meeting next week and want to know what your thoughts are on an expanded gambling bill (SB489) that would allow a convention style resort casino at Green Meadow properties.
The proposed $300 million resort would include 300 rooms a convention center and 18-hole golf course on the property. The location of the resort will be on the northern edge of the property closest to the Sagamore Bridge, with the golf course between the resort and neighboring residences. In a recent presentation by Green Meadows, they detailed the creation of approximately 1,000 construction jobs and an additional 3,800 jobs once it was built; it would provide the State of NH with $50 million for licensing fees; about $9 million to Hudson in local tax revenue; and further provide $6.5 million for Hillsborough County annually and neighboring towns of Nashua, Litchfield, Londonderry and Pelham sharing about $3 million; and lastly one-percent of the resort's gross revenue would go to operating a commuter rail, if that mode ever comes to NH.
The board of direcctors are asking you to send your input to the chamber office at info@hudsonchamber.com or directly to one of the directors found at this link before Tuesday, March 16th. Your voice continues to be important!
