The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is holding a public hearing in Springfield Tuesday on MGM’s plans for an $800 million casino.
This will likely be the last chance for the public to weigh in on the casino proposed for downtown Springfield before the commission awards the sole western Massachusetts casino license. MGM is the only applicant. Gaming commission chairman Stephen Crosby said MGM’s proposal seems solid.
" If people raise issues of mitigation or something we have not thought about there is room for tweaks in the proposal."
At a public hearing held by the gaming commission in West Springfield on March 3rd about 60 people offered their opinions on the MGM casino project.
