Do You Support a Casino Being Built in Everett?
The planned casino is expected to increase traffic in the area.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission awarding Wynn Resorts a Greater Boston region (Region A) casino license for Everett may be good news for that city that will now reap in the financial benefits.
But what about the communities abutting Everett like Charlestown?
