TELL US: What Impact Would A Casino Have on Westford?

The Boston Herald reported last week that a Canadian firm may be interested in coming to Littleton. If that occurred, what impact would it have on Westford?

 

Last week, the Boston Herald reported that Clairvest, a Toronto-based casino company, is looking at Littleton for a possible location for their bid in the upcoming selection for the state's four gaming licenses.

The report did not indicate whether the company was looking at a full or slots-only license, or where exactly in Littleton the proposed casino might be located.

We've asked you about your thoughts on casinos as a whole, but today we want to ask you a casino in Littleton specifically, how would it impact us down the road here in Westford?

If you opposed casinos before, would you change your mind like Holyoke mayor Alex Morse did until recently and try to steer a casino here to Westford instead to obtain something in exchange for the possible negative impact of having a casino close by?

And on that note, is there anywhere in Westford that would be a possible location for a casino?
