Yesterday, the Pennsylvania Gamming Control Board announced the location for the public hearing where testimony by citizens will be heard regarding the Mason Dixon Resorts and Casino.
The hearing is set for August 31st, 2010, and will begin at 10am. Location for the hearing is at the Comfort Suites hotel located at 945 Baltimore Pike Gettysburg, PA 17325. In order to present testimony, citizens must register with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board no later then noon on Thursday, August 26th, 2010. To register, contact Mickey Kane at (717) 346-8300 or visit the PGCB website.
With one remaining Category 3 gaming license to be granted, competition for the Mason Dixon Resorts and Casino is bound to be stiff. Three other entities are vying for the last Category 3 license as well. The other applicants are Holiday Inn Harrisburg West in Cumberland County, the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Fayette County and the Fernwood Hotel and Resort in the Poconos.
Written comments may also be submitted for the record prior to the hearing and up to 60 days after. The comments may be submitted from the PGCB website, by fax to (717) 346-8350, or by mail to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board at P.O. Box 69060, Harrisburg, PA 17106.
Gaming Control Board spokesman Richard McGarvey stated, “Depending upon the turnout, a second hearing may be necessary but the chairman is expected to make a decision before the end of this year.”
