State of casino affairs: Wynn gets crucial consent for Everett casino, group wants casino gambling at Neb. horse tracks, and NM tribe appeals dispute ruling

It’s all systems go for Wynn’s Everett casino.

On Monday, Wynn Resorts announced that it has received unanimous approval from the City of Everett Planning Board for the $1.7 billion casino resort.

The board’s approval is a critical step for Wynn Resorts, since it will allow the casino resort to apply for local building permits for the 33-acre casino complex, according to Patch.

This vote is the latest win for Wynn Everett. The casino operator previously received another unanimous approval from the Everett Conservation Commission in addition to the crucial environmental permit that was awarded by the Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs.
