We, the residents of Oxford, MI, are approaching you with a request of personal nature. We believe that converting our local Urban Air Trampoline & Adventure Park into a Casino might seem an unusual request, but we have reasons we deem important.

We have always been keen on setting a good example for the youth, and we strive to maintain this as a priority. While it may seem contrarian to demand a casino, we view this as an opportunity to demonstrate responsible behavior and decision-making.

Casinos, if managed responsibly and under strict regulation, can bring a lot of positive impacts to the local economy. According to the American Gaming Association, the total economic impact of the U.S. casino industry in 2018 was $261.4 billion, including supporting 1.8 million jobs (Source: American Gaming Association). With stringent laws and community participation, we can come together to ensure this lucrative prospect doesn't cross ethical boundaries and becomes a positive influence on our environment instead.

For the future of Oxford, we ask that you consider our request sympathetically. With your support, we can bring a constructive change to our town. Please sign this petition to support us, so we can see our community flourish while upholding the values that we hail.
