Pennsylvania: development plan for new casino approved
The project in State College still needs a casino licence approval from the state´s Gaming Control Board.
US.- The land development plan for the proposed casino at the former Macy´s at Nittany Mall in State College, Pennsylvania, has been approved by the College Township Council.
The project is still awaiting the approval of its Category 4 casino licence from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The council has approved the casino development plans but licensing approval from the state’s gaming control board is still needed before construction can begin.
Bally’s Corporation signed an agreement in January to develop and run the operation. The casino would offer 750 slot machines, 30 table games, and sports betting. It would also have a sport-themed restaurant with space for live entertainment.
Developers presented a study that estimated that the casino would have a one-time economic impact of $43.6m for College Township and $61.4m for Centre County.
