I came on the report of a possible casino in North Muskegon in the course of research on the town, where I thought my wife and I might want to buy a house. We will wait to see what happens about the casino. If it goes ahead, we will find another town. I have seen the effects of casinos on larger cities; I am sure a casino in North Muskegon would have a particularly destructive effect.

I do believe they want to put the casino in down town muskegon. i live in east muskegon so if they do im sure I wont really see a difference. It could be good for muskegons economy. It would open more jobs. but it would aslo make it a lot busier. So theres pros and cons I guess.
