A Step Closer to the Revo Casino Complex
On Thursday night, the Manchester Planning Board gave a significant nod of approval to a proposal that would bring a brand-new Revo Casino complex to South Willow Street. This redevelopment plan, which includes the demolition and reconstruction of the casino, has received enthusiastic feedback, signaling a major milestone in the project’s progress.
The development, led by Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, has already moved past a critical hurdle, with variances granted by the Manchester Zoning Board of Adjustment just last month. Now, two more requests were on the table for the Planning Board’s review—one of which focused on a site plan application that would consolidate three existing lots into a single property for the new casino project.
The Road to Redevelopment
The proposed casino site spans an area along South Willow Street, with two of the lots in question currently hosting the Even Hotel and the former Harley Davidson dealership. The vision for the Revo Casino is to merge these lots with an adjacent property to the south, ultimately creating a larger space for the casino complex.
This move will pave the way for a state-of-the-art facility that aims to boost the city’s economy and attract tourists. The new casino, which will include not only gaming spaces but also various dining and entertainment options, is expected to create jobs and contribute to the revitalization of the area.
Local Support for the Project
At the Planning Board meeting, local officials expressed strong support for the casino project. Many emphasized the positive impact the new Revo Casino could have on Manchester’s economy. “This is going to bring new life to this section of the city,” said one board member. “It’s a major development project that will not only attract visitors but also help boost local businesses.”
Moreover, the Revo Casino is expected to become a major entertainment hub for the region, offering a wide range of activities for visitors, from gaming to live performances and dining experiences. In addition to providing entertainment, the project promises to be a key economic driver for the city, potentially bringing millions in tax revenue and creating numerous jobs.
What Comes Next for the Revo Casino Proposal?
While the Planning Board’s approval is an important step, the project still requires additional approval from local authorities before construction can commence. However, given the positive feedback and ongoing support from city leaders, the next steps appear to be a formality.
If all goes according to plan, demolition of the existing structures will begin soon, followed by the construction of the new casino complex. The project is expected to take several years, with the Revo Casino potentially opening its doors within the next few years.
For Manchester, the development is more than just a casino; it’s part of a larger push to revitalize the area and provide new opportunities for residents and visitors alike. The Revo Casino is positioned to play a pivotal role in the city’s growth, bringing in not just entertainment and gaming, but also increased tourism and economic activity to the region.
