The Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut says a commercial casino will bring jobs and development to western Massachusetts.
The tribe wants to build a casino in Palmer, near Springfield. Executives say construction will create 1,000 jobs and the resort will employ 3,000 people.
The project depends on approval by the Massachusetts Legislature. Last year, lawmakers rejected commercial gaming but top leaders predict success this time around.
