A Letter to Our Residents...

I was asked as a friend to post this for the Polimeno Family...

 

Dear Tewksbury Residents,

Find out what's happening in Tewksburywith free, real-time updates from Patch.

We would like to voice our opposition of Penn Gaming Company's proposal to build and manage a slots parlor in Tewksbury.   We believe that the problems that would be created far outweigh the promised monetary benefits.

Our reasons for opposition are many but we believe the primary one to be the small town supportive community of Tewksbury will be changed forever.  The increased traffic, twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, the decreased property values, the need for additional infrastructure and personnel and the increased crime are significant reasons it will have a detrimental impact on our town.  Other communities that have casinos have been negatively impacted over time.

Instead of casinos, we are supportive of commercial development in Tewksbury that would generate revenue for the town, provide sustainable jobs and be a source of pride for our great community of Tewksbury. 

Please join us in voting NO for the proposal of Penn Gaming in Tewksbury.

Sincerely,

Philip & Kristen Polimeno & Larry & Sandy Polimeno
