New Deal Close For Nearby Casino, Governor Says
Gov. Deval Patrick and the Mashpee Wampanoag have reached another agreement, the Boston Herald Reports
Governor Deval Patrick and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe reportedly close to finalizing an agreement for a $500 million casino 10 miles from Easton on the intersection of Route 140 and Route 24 in Taunton.
Patrick said Thursday that his administration has reached an agreement-in-principle on a revised casino compact with the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, according to the Boston Herald.
An original request was denied by the Bureau of Indian Affairs last year.
Easton officials have previously expressed concerns about casinos both in Taunton and a possible gaming resort across Easton's border in Raynham.
