The Lord &#038; Taylor shop, which has been idle since 2020, will be repurposed as part of the $160 million renovation planned for The Mall at Rockingham Park.<\/p>\n<p>After over three hours of deliberation, the board voted 5-2 to address the issues raised by abutters who were represented by lawyer Amy Manzelli. Manzelli contended that the project lacked sufficient data regarding possible neighborhood effects, such as those related to lighting, traffic, and public safety. <em>\u201cThis application is not approvable because it does not provide enough information about how it will impact the neighborhood around it,\u201d<\/em> she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Despite objections, Salem\u2019s Planning Director, Jacob LaFontaine, and other board members found the traffic study sufficient. Police Chief Joel Dolan assured the community that additional staffing costs would fall on the property managers, not taxpayers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Community Divided but Optimistic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The casino proposal sparked mixed reactions during public comments. Some residents supported the project, citing potential economic and social benefits, while others shared Manzelli\u2019s concerns. Town Council Chair Joe Sweeney voiced optimism, stating, <em>\u201cThis is an exciting time and something the town has wanted for a bit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The proposed three-story Live! Casino will feature over 900 historic racing machines, 40+ gambling tables, a sports lounge, and event spaces.

The top floor will serve as office space.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">7Bit Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
