I think a casino, while it can help bring in revenue and help nonprofits, it might not be the direction I want to see Nashua heading,\u201d Mags Pattantyus, a Nashua resident, told WMUR<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nResidents have also voiced concerns about how police will handle emergencies at the casino. One issue is that the entire parking area is in Tyngsborough, Mass., rather than in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
Others thought the presence of a casino would clash with other mall tenants.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems to me that an adult entertainment center [placed] into one of the five big box stores, the vacant Sears store, is way out of character with the master plan, and I think it\u2019s way out of character with the mall, which [is] a family-friendly shopping center,\u201d Bill Ohm, a local resident, told WMUR<\/em>.<\/p>\nFuture Jobs a Plus<\/h2>\n But Jesse Dellea is happy that her Nashua neighbors can get hired at the new gaming property.<\/p>\n
If it brings jobs to the area, that’s great,\u201d she told WMUR<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\u201cI think having a casino in the mall is outside-the-box thinking \u2026 I believe, in the end, it will be a shot in the arm to the Daniel Webster Highway and the retail, restaurants, and what have you, down there,\u201d added Stefan Hausberger, a local business owner, said.<\/p>\n
Last year, the Nashua Planning Board voted by a 4-to-1 margin to okay the project.<\/p>\n
Under the plan, licenses from two Nashua casinos, The Lucky Moose Casino & Tavern and The River Casino & Sports Bar, will be transferred to the new casino.<\/p>\n
