Suffolk Downs means jobs

Chelsea, Massachusetts

For the last 75 years, Suffolk Downs has provided stable employment for numerous residents of Chelsea. Should Suffolk Downs be granted a license to construct a casino on its property, while continuing to operate the horse racing venue, it is expected that an even greater number of Chelsea residents will secure employment there in the future. The owners of Suffolk Downs have projected that at least 2500 new positions will be created almost immediately once construction starts and the casino project moves forward. Once the development is fully completed, it is difficult to predict the exact total number of jobs that will be generated, though it is certain that the presence of restaurants, retail outlets, shops, and a wide range of business opportunities will be significant at a thriving Suffolk Downs casino and track. These developments will naturally lead to numerous job opportunities for individuals in Chelsea who are seeking employment. This is why we support the casino at Suffolk Downs. It holds significant importance for the economy of Chelsea.
