TELL US: Where Does Rockingham Park Go from Here?

The New Hampshire House voted to kill a hotly contested casino bill Wednesday by a vote of 199-164, prompting one big question for Salem residents – now what for Rockingham Park?

With the failed legislation comes the reality that a highly regulated casino will not be coming to the Rock, at least for now.

Rich Killion, spokesperson for Millennium Gaming, which owns the option to purchase the park should legislation pass in the state and the Rock be awarded a casino bid, insisted after the vote that they aren't going anywhere:

“We totally remain committed to the people of Salem in support of what we want to do for its historic Rockingham Park. Clearly we’re disappointed with the outcome of today’s vote," he said. "It’s unfortunate that the House has decided to stand against the people of New Hampshire who support a casino in their state by two one margins. But we’re heartened by the very strong leadership of (Gov. Maggie Hassan) and the House and Senate sponsors in advocating for this bill and we look forward to the future."

But what does that future hold. We want to hear from you Salem.

Do you think the state will one day pass gambling legislation and Rockingham Park will receive a bid. Perhaps you think the future is bleak for the 107-year-old facility.

If not a new casino and racetrack, what could be done with that property?
