One of the attempts to block a new gaming hall near Loudon Road has been rejected following a Concord zoning board ruling that an appeal of a planning board decision was filed months too late.

Concord Zoning Board of Adjustment ruled 5-0 Wednesday night that under city law, the appeal by city resident Kassey Cameron should have been filed within 30 days of the planning board’s initial decision to accept the plan for a charitable gaming facility and microbrewery back in January, even though the project was not approved until June. Because of the timing issue, the ZBA did not take up the issue of whether gambling is one of the permitted uses in that area of the city.
