Proposed casino in Brockton is denied license
By News Staff
A casino in brockton is a no go.
The Massachusetts Gaming commission denied a commercial license to a group hoping to build a casino there.
The chairman of the commission called the design of the proposed casino "great disappointment", saying it lacks strategies for urban renewal and economic development.
The decision comes as the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is beginning construction on a billion-dollar casino on reservation land in Taunton 20 miles away.
