Proposed Millbury Slot Parlor Wins Blackstone Valley Chamber's Support

The Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce has thrown its support behind a slot parlor proposed for Millbury.

The board of directors of the chamber, which includes Grafton, said in a press release Monday that Rush Street Gaming's proposal "represents a genuine highest and best use scenario for the chosen site, and provides significant benefit opportunity to the town of Millbury and the Blackstone Valley at large."

"Given the company's commitment to use local small businesses for their operation whenever possible as part of their business model, and to include in their development design plans to help alleviate the existing traffic issues that
currently exist at the neighboring Shoppes, we feel fortunate to be working  with a developer that has had prior success building in the Commonwealth
and one that understands the needs of our business community," the board members said.
