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.
After months of discussions, reviews and adjustments, College Township Council on Thursday unanimously approved, with conditions, plans for a two-building student housing complex on the site of the former Hilltop Mobile Home Park.
Pending completion of the conditions, Texas-based student housing developer Aspen Heights Partners plans to begin construction this summer on the property along the west side of Squirrel Drive and south of East College Avenue.
“I hope everybody who’s been following along really appreciated the diligence that I felt we and staff and the developer and everybody involved brought to this,” Councilman Paul Takac said. “As a resident immediately adjacent to this, am I delighted that there’s a student housing development? Not especially, but I will say that if it has to be that I feel like we kind of lucked out with Aspen Heights in a sense that they and their team really stepped up.”
