Mohegan Tribe eyes casino in Massachusetts

Thursday, November 13, 2008  

The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut is still making plans for a casino in Massachusetts even though legislation to authorize commercial gaming failed to pass.

The tribe wants to build a casino in Palmer, in the western part of the state. The tribe agreed to a 50-year lease for a site in the town.

"We're spending several million dollars at this stage is reasonable for the risk and investment that proceeds," said Paul Brody, the vice president of development for Mohegan Sun, CBS3 reported.

Brody acknowledge the downturn in the economy is affecting the tribe but expressed optimism about a recovery.
