The town’s Zoning Board of Adjustment officially ratified a legal settlement between the town and The Brook, allowing the casino to construct up to 264 housing units on 75 acres off Route 1.

The terms of the consent decree hammered out between the town and RMH NH, LLC, the Las Vegas-headquartered owner of The Brook, grants the variances needed to build the complex off Route 107, sending it to the Planning Board for site plan review.

It also ends the chance that The Brook would win its appeal to the state’s Housing Appeal Board, which could have approved variances for an apartment complex about 100 units larger.
