The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board has scheduled a hearing to receive public input on the category 4 mini-casino planned for the former Macy’s location at the Nittany Mall.
The hearing will take place at 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 16, at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center.
It “will provide a forum for individuals to voice their support or opposition to the proposed casino at the Nittany Mall and to permit those persons with an interest in the applicant’s proposal to learn more about the project,” according to a PGCB news release on Tuesday.
Individuals will be able to attend and offer testimony in-person or remotely and the hearing also will be streamed live on the PGCB website.
The former Macy’s department store site at the Nittany Mall is the planned location for a proposed mini-casino in Centre County.
College Township officials received this week a local impact report as required by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board that identified the location for the category 4 casino, township Manager Adam Brumbaugh said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon.
Investor and former Penn State trustee Ira Lubert had a winning bid at a September 2020 Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board auction for a new license for a Category 4 casino that would be built somewhere within a 15-mile radius of Unionville Borough. In January, Bally’s Corporation announced it had signed an agreement with Lubert to develop a planned $120 million mini-casino but at the time only indicated it would be located “near the Nittany Mall.”
