The expansion would be connected to the casino that opened in 2019 by a pedestrian bridge.
The commission voted 4-1 to decide that the expansion was contemplated in the language of the 2013 referendum and the host community agreement between the casino and city. Commissioner Eileen O'Brien was the dissenter, telling other regulators that she viewed the 2013 approval as"site specific" and that she is uncomfortable with the fact that no one was able to clearly define for her the boundaries of the location that was approved in 2013.
"If I was to think of the word casino, if I shut my eyes, and someone told me 'Well, there's going to be an expansion at a casino.' I would think most people -- not all, but most people -- would think 'well, if there's an expansion at a gaming facility, there's probably going to be an expansion of gaming as well.' I think that's what they think. I'm almost sure they do," Hill said."My father had a little clothing store in Ipswich.
A lawyer for Everett, Jonathan Silverstein, said that holding a new citywide vote would be costly, could create delays for the casino expansion project, and would be disrespectful of the 2013 voters.
