Cities to track Encore Boston Harbor’s impact
The Encore Boston Harbor will open this weekend in Everett and neighbouring city Revere will form a commission to track its impact on the community.
US.- Wynn Resorts will open its US$2.6 billion resort in Everett, Massachusetts, the Encore Boston Harbor, next Sunday. That’s why neighbouring community Revere has raised its guard.
Revere Mayor Brian M. Arrigo will form a commission to track the venue’s impact on the city. He wants specialists to control and report positive and negative results the casino will have in the area.
“So, the immediate concerns are obviously traffic and the traffic impact,” Arrigo said. “What we’re focused on and what I’m trying to make sure people know is that we have their back, that this is happening.”
The opening
The Encore Boston Harbor has been through several different stages but is now soon to open. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) cleared Wynn to conduct the trial gambling days this week.
The regulator inspected Wynn’s Boston Harbour venue and also confirmed it has met or exceeded most of its licence requirements. They checked on the casino’s 3,158 slot machines, 143 table games and 88 poker tables before giving the key approval.
The venue’s failed sale
The Encore Boston Harbor could have switched hands as Wynn and MGM discussed a potential deal. They revealed the information and announced the transaction wouldn’t delay its opening.
