Bradley International Airport’s operator plans to submit a proposal to MM4CT Venture, the Mashantucket Pequot-Mohegan partnership that’s accepting bids for a third Connecticut casino to foil MGM Springfield, the $800 million project under construction in Massachusetts.

“In view of the decision by MM4CT to accept proposals that are not fully complete, the CAA plans to move forward with a submittal,” Kevin Dillon, the Connecticut Airport Authority’s executive director, said Thursday in a statement. “We also plan to ask the new Windsor Locks Board of Selectmen to take up action on it as soon as possible.”

Voters in Windsor Locks, home to Bradley, elected three new selectmen — the entire board — in Tuesday’s elections.

Although Friday is the stated deadline for municipalities to respond to the tribes’ request for casino proposals, MM4CT has indicated it will consider responses from developers who have yet to secure the backing of a “host” town.

Earlier in the week, Pearce Real Estate, the firm managing the RFP (request for proposals) process for the tribes, said on its website that it “recognizes that the timing of the municipal elections may not permit adequate consideration by a municipality of whether it wishes to respond to the RFP. Rather than extending the deadline for submission of responses ... the Venture has determined to encourage responses, even if incomplete.”

Chris Kervick, Windsor Locks’ first selectman-elect, told The Day on Wednesday that he plans to revive the Board of Selectmen’s consideration of the Bradley casino proposal soon after he takes office Nov. 24.

Last week, current board members failed to second a motion calling for the town to join the airport authority in responding to the RFP.

At least two other municipalities — East Hartford and East Windsor — were expected to submit proposals by the deadline. On its website, Pearce indicated it does not intend to release information about the responses it receives.

A developer involved in East Hartford’s proposal issued a statement Thursday in which he said his plan would have a greater impact than competing proposals.

Silver Lane Partners’ plan to convert a vacant Showcase Cinemas building on Interstate 84 in East Hartford represents “the single most transformational opportunity in the region when it comes to job creation and reducing urban unemployment,” Tony Ravosa, Silver Lane’s managing member, said.

Ravosa cited data showing that East Hartford’s unemployment rate of 6.5 percent outstrips that of East Windsor (4.9 percent) and Windsor Locks (4.8 percent). Connecticut’s overall unemployment rate stands at 5.1 percent.

“In looking at these numbers, you can determine very quickly where this project would have the greatest immediate regional impact,” Ravosa said.

He also cited per-capita income statistics that show the average income in East Hartford ($25,578) and in Hartford ($16,619) are below those in East Windsor ($32,769) and Windsor Locks ($35,933).

According to a report commissioned by Silver Lane Partners, the proposed casino’s full-time employees would earn annual salaries and benefits of $56,900.

Ravosa said the Silver Lane proposal could benefit from state plans to extend public bus service to East Hartford. He also released a letter in which Mark Scheinberg, the president of East Hartford’s Goodwin College, expressed support for the town’s response to the RFP.

“Goodwin understands that the gaming market in New England is extremely competitive and that in addition to the basics of available sufficient public infrastructure and tax policies a well-trained work force will be essential to winning this competition,” Scheinberg wrote to East Hartford Mayor Marcia Leclerc.

East Hartford Town Council voted to have Leclerc submit the Silver Lane proposal.

In East Windsor, selectmen agreed to propose that a casino be developed on a site that includes a former Showcase Cinemas building and a former Walmart store.
