With a statewide vote approaching on whether to continue down the casino path in Massachusetts, racino proponents plan to gather Wednesday in Plainville to place the final beam on an expanded gambling facility permitted under the state’s 2011 gambling law.
According to Penn National Gaming, elected officials, area residents and business and labor leaders plan to mark the completion of the structural shell of the Plainridge Park Casino and express their opposition to ballot Question 3, which would repeal the casino law. Â
At Plainridge Racecourse, event participants plan at 11 a.m. to discuss investments, job creation, and revenue associated with the project.
Penn National won the state’s only slots parlor license earlier this year, winning out over proposals in Leominster and Raynham.
