Planning Board members Wednesday night conditionally approved a site plan to build a large-scale casino in The Mall of Rockingham Park.
Despite concerns raised by attorney Amy Manzelli, representing abutters Jamie and Chris Cummings, board members advised Manzelli to take up any legal action with the applicant, or the town, and surged ahead with a 5-2 vote in favor of the application after nearly three hours of discussion.
“This application is not approvable because it does not provide enough information about how it will impact the neighborhood around it,” Manzelli said. “It requires the consideration of public health and safety and the general welfare, comfort and convenience of the residents of the immediate neighborhood.”
