Unfortunately the old prison you speak of is located at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which is located in the State of Maine.
But maybe your idea could help bring property tax relief to Mainers, especially those living in that general vicinity that continually complain about their high property taxes. Unfortunately the State of Maine utilizing a state income tax, state sales tax and a myriad of fees still relies heavily also on local property taxes to pay for its government infrastructure.
Maybe a casino at the prison could be the turning point for tax relief in the State of Maine?
Or maybe the additional revenue will go to a larger government infrastructure in that same State, as all the preceding taxes and fees have led to?
