A city resident is asking a judge to invalidate the surprise decision made by the Concord Planning Board to approve a casino on the east side of the city.

Kassey Cameron of Concord appealed the board’s decision in Merrimack County Superior Court, arguing she and other residents would have attended the meeting had they been aware the application would be heard before the board that night.

“This appeal stems from a drastic deprivation of the public’s right to due process — to meaningfully participate in the process of determining the significance of the impacts a proposed, large-scale casino, microbrewery, restaurant, and ultimately a hotel — and from several legal errors,” the suit states.
