The Brook is rolling the dice on a 24,000-square-foot expansion and renovation project to keep its tagline of being “America’s largest charity casino.”
The town Planning Board unanimously approved the plans on Feb. 18 proposed by RMH NH, LLC, the Las Vegas owner of the local charitable gambling complex on Route 107.
After his engineers and consultants made their presentation to the board, Andre Carrier, CEO of The Brook, requested immediate approval to begin ordering construction materials before prices rise any further.
“We’d love to get approval this evening,” Carrier told Planning Board members, “so we can order steel to be ready at the first thaw.”
The construction will feature an 18,000-square-foot expansion of the “front of the house,” providing additional space for gambling. According to the presentation, the project will also enhance the reception area and food service options — including the addition of a new restaurant – as well as a small retail shop. Furthermore, the entire entity will receive an upgraded mid-century modern facade.
These features will be added to The Brook’s current facilities, including 600 gaming machines, table games, a 10-table poker room, sportsbook, and seven bars and restaurants.
The expansion project also includes outdoor fire pits, as well as an area for outdoor special events to be held under tents. Along with improved grading to enhance drainage and treat stormwater run-off, new parking areas with better configurations are planned, with existing parking lots completely renovated.
