Diane Wojtowicz, owner of Wyckoff Country Club in Holyoke, located just north of Sprigfield, is teaming with developers on a proposal to put a casino on the 18-hole, par 69, 100-acre site.

Should legalized gambling be approved by the Massachusetts legislature, she envisions turning the property into a hotel resort and entertainment destination.

Holyoke voters have twice approved ballot questions supporting a casino in town. The state legislature is working to pass a compromise bill that would include either two or three casinos in Massachusetts.

Mohegan Sun Tribal Gaming Authority, of Uncasville , Conn., wants to build a $500 million casino resort in Palmer off Exit 8 of the Mass Turnpike.
