Former state senator and Concord businessman Andy Sanborn hopes to build a new 43,000-square-foot casino and entertainment venue on the city’s east side that will bring jobs and revenue to the city, he told planning board members Wednesday night.

The first phase of the project would be a 24,000-square-foot gaming room with 634 seats and 8,500-square-foot restaurant and brew-pub that could hold up to 150 diners. The new building would be located near the intersection of Loudon and Sheep Davis roads and close to Interstate 393 off a small street named Break O’Day Drive. Future plans call for a hotel and event center.
