The Mohegan Tribe of
Connecticut faces competition in its bid for a casino in Massachusetts.
Hard Rock International, which is owned by the Seminole Tribe of Florida, plans to bid on casino in the western part of the state. Plans call for a development on 100 acres in Holyoke.
“We believe this project will complement Holyoke and its surroundings, making it one of the top entertainment destinations in the country,” James Allen, the chairman of Hard Rock International, told The Boston Herald.
The Mohegan Tribe wants to build in Palmer, also in western Massachusetts. A third company, Penn National, is looking at Springfield.
