To: The Honorable Alex B. Morse, Mayor, City of Holyoke, MA
Casinos for Holyoke
Mayor Morse: We believe a well sited casino in Holyoke may provide positive and significant economic impact to our community. We believe voters should have a say in whether or not casino gambling comes to the city and we encourage you to accept gaming proposals and negotiate a host agreement with one or more casino developers so that the people can have their voices heard.
Why is this important?
We believe Holyoke's greatness lies not only in its past, but in its future. The best years for Holyoke lay ahead. The potential for economic growth may indeed be realized by a resort casino in Holyoke. We as citizens respectfully ask Mayor Alex Morse to move forward with a host agreement with one or more gaming interests so that this potential opportunity is decided by the voters of Holyoke in a future referendum.
