Officials from Twin River will be holding a gathering to address the public on a proposal to move Newport Grand to Tiverton.

Twin River wants to build a new casino bordering the Massachusetts line in Fall River, with slot machines and table games.

The town council and the general assembly would need to approve of the move in order for the casino to have any hope of being built. If approved, the proposal could be on the ballot next year.

The meeting with the public this evening, will be held at the Lil Bear Sports Pub on Main Road in Tiverton at 6 p.m.
