Meanwhile, the airport authority says that despite local opposition, it will make a casino pitch.

Mayor Scott Kaupin said Thursday afternoon that the mall has told the town they were planning to submit a proposal. Enfield officials say the mall has told them thay plan to submit a bid. 'We haven't made a final decision, we won't make a decision until tomorrow morning,' Enfield Square Mall Manager Marty Pelosi said Thursday afternoon. Enfield Mayor Scott Kaupinhas said the town would not support submitting a proposal to the tribes. In early October, Enfield Square Mall management met resistance from nearly 200 Enfield residents saying they didn't want to see a casino built in their town. The town has not endorsed Madison Marquette's proposal. Sources in Enfield Thursday afternoon said Madison Marquette, which owns the Enfield Square Mall on Elm Street, will decide Friday morning about whether to submit a proposal for a casino to the tribes. The Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes are accepting proposals until 4 p.m. As a deadline for submissions looms Friday, the Connecticut Airport Authority is reviving its proposal for a third state casino while Enfield Square Mall says it may enter the gambling sweepstakes.
