Residents of New Hampshire’s second-largest city will have to wait a little bit longer to find out if they’re getting a casino.
EC NH Real Estate Holdings, Inc. was slated to appear before the Nashua City Planning Board to ask for a permit to begin the development of a casino in a former Sears department store in Pheasant Lane Mall. However, the board chose to postpone the permit ask until Thursday’s meeting.
The casino scene in New Hampshire is a bit different than in most states. Casinos are legal, but only if a charitable organization is operating it. As a result, casino gaming has progressed slowly since the charitable casino law went into effect in the 2000s. For example, the state’s casinos aren’t allowed to have slot machines.
