Concord Casino will continue to keep its lights off as Andy Sanborn has decided not to appeal the suspension of his gaming license. The deadline for filing an appeal was Jan. 19, and the Lottery Commission confirmed that they hadn’t received one.
Now, the former state senator Sanborn has no option but to sell the casino on South Main Street in Concord to a New Hampshire Lottery Commission-approved buyer within six months.
According to the ruling by independent hearing officer Michael King made on Dec. 28, if he fails to sell the business within six months, Sanborn will risk license revocation.
The ruling was made on accusations that Sanborn fraudulently applied for and received $844,000 in COVID relief funds.
