Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta said that since the pandemic, many restaurants are still financially distressed and video gambling could provide a revenue stream.
“We have had some businesses that have come up and said they need video gambling, and it would help their businesses survive,” Alexander-Basta said.
The advisory question is to see how Bolingbrook residents feel, she added.
