TIVERTON, R.I. — The 75 million dollar Tiverton Casino is still a go.

The “Twin River Management Group’s” new venture was approved statewide Tuesday night, but it also needed a green light from the locals in order to pass.

Mail-in ballots were counted Thursday night and the measure was supported by over 4,000 votes.

The Tiverton Casino will be built just a stones throw from the Massachusetts border.

Supporters say it will keep Rhode Island competitive and bring hundreds of jobs to the area.
