The Depot is scheduled to be built on the corner of Medary and 20th St. South in Brookings, South Dakota. The business has been granted a malt beverage license and video lottery license from the city of Brookings. The Depot is scheduled to be a convenience store/ sandwich shop/ casino/ bar. The business is scheduled to be built during the summer of 2012, with a fall 2012 opening. Members of the community feel that this business is not appropriate in this location. The Depot would be next to a residential area, bike path, and soccer fields. This petition has been created to document support for boycotting The Depot if it includes a casino and bar. Individuals that work or live in Brookings, South Dakota are encouraged to sign this petition and support the members of this neighborhood. If you sign this petition you are stating that you will not patronize The Depot if it includes a bar and video lottery.
The city council continues to dodge our emails about the zoning concerns near the soccer fields. Post this link on your Facebook page today so they cannot ignore the growing opposition to this casino. Text three neighbors to make sure they know about the plans for this site.

The momentum we have built shows the city council that this neighborhood will not accept a casino near our homes and soccer fields. Send this link to three neighbors right now and tell them why you are choosing not to shop at the new location.
