Sorry but what about Pease Tradeport? Good grief - if there's anywhere in the state that would be good for a resort, I'd think Pease would be excellent - retail, restaurants, night life - Portsmouth has a lot going on... Pease would get a new life and there would be more jobs.

They're starting with places on the three major thoroughfares coming into the state from the south. The 95 designee will be Seabrook because it's already established, and that's the reasoning behing Rockingham on 93 as well. The route 3 facility will be in Hudson and it will be a start-from-scratch Foxwoods-type facility.

"North Country" will probably be something like Town and Country in Gorham or the Mt. Washington Hotel in Twin Mountain...places that are already established with restaurants/lounges and an established customer base.
