Casino project in Keene, New Hampshire, receives zoning board approval for waiver
In the heart of Keene, a series of developments have been unfolding. Last Tuesday, a tragic event occurred as the Main Street site was destroyed by fire. However, this incident may pave the way for a new chapter in the city's entertainment scene.
The developer behind the relocation plan for the Revo-Casino, a charitable gaming facility, is Bobby Liam. Liam has his eyes set on a building on Key Road, a location that is considered beneficial due to its proximity to hotels. Interestingly, this building was purchased by another developer, Dick Anagnost and his son, in December 2024.
The Keene zoning board has been supportive of these changes, granting waivers for both the casino and a local theatre to alter their locations. The theatre in question is planning to upgrade its marquee, while the potential relocation of Revo to the Key Road building, which is part of a plaza that includes Toy City and Keene Cinemas, is still under consideration.
It's important to note that the potential relocation of Revo to the Key Road building was not mentioned in earlier facts. Liam's request for more time to build on the Main Street site, which was destroyed by fire, has been pushed to next month.
The relocation of Revo is not yet confirmed, but the benefits are clear. The Key Road building's proximity to hotels could significantly boost the business of Revo, making it a potential win for both the casino and Keene's tourism industry.
Stay tuned for more updates as these developments continue to unfold in Keene.
