Casino-Free Milford Presents Rebuttal Document to Board of Selectmen Evaluating the Foxwoods June 3rd Casino Devlelopment Presentation

At the June 17th Milford Board of Selectmen's meeting, Casino-Free Milford Co-Chairmen John Seaver and Steve Trettel presented a rebuttal document to the Selectmen that evaluates the information presented by Foxwoods executives on June 3rd  regarding their proposal to build a destination resort casino here in Milford. The rebuttal identifies misleading facts, inconsistencies, and omissions in the Foxwoods casino project presentation, as well as recommendations to the Board regarding how to proceed in conducting the impact studies and negotiating the host community agreement. The critique of Foxwoods' presentation information regards such critical issues as water, traffic and highway improvements, job claims, property values, ecological impact, absentee management, and sewer is included.

Casino-Free Milford continues to believe that a destination resort casino does not belong in our residential, suburban community. The Foxwoods’ presentation only served to reinforce that belief.

The complete rebuttal document is available in the attached PDF file, as well as on the CasinoFreeMilford.com website at:
