How will the casino impact your life?

I think it affects the quality of life for everyone in the Oxford Hills area. I think it may provide jobs and be seen as a benefit by some people, but I personally think that what's being proposed is too large for the area, and we'll lose a lot of the flavor of the surrounding small towns.

I will say that, as the casino comes into the Oxford area, hopefully business at the Dunkin Donuts, where I am a manager, will increase. We increased our business this year over last year, and hopefully the casino will bring more foot traffic, and help us to increase our business again.

I think it would improve it. It will help with a lot of jobs around here.

We have a small delivery business in the area. I think it will increase the amount of business we get.

I think it would be great. It would do the area good. Businesses are going. We need to bring something to the area, and jobs. Lots of people drive hours to get to Bangor or Hollywood Slots.

I should have a job there. I do construction, and I hope they'll hire me.
