I work everyday with people facing eviction, utility termination, and other crises. A casino would simply amplify the level of economic distress our low-income residents face. Casinos lure the most vulnerable in with promises of glamour and pay outs. Most just end up broke and disappointed. A casino will just contribute to local poverty and its attendant issues.

A casino does nothing to elevate the appeal of this region. In my opinion, casinos cheapen the legitimate hometown feel of an area. It also probably isn’t great to lure college students to a venue so close to campus. Additionally, times are changing and the success of a physical casino is in question. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs has struggled because of these massive changes in gambling abilities (think apps like Draft Kings). The last thing we need is a run down casino in the future. While I agree with mall revitalization, I just think there must be a better way.

There is absolutely no reason for a Casino in State College. Please do not use the excuse to "create jobs' or bring in revenue" with the business brought in during Local events such as Football, the Arts festivals, and sporting events this is moot! Why are you trying to ruin my hometown with your greed?!

This casino is not appropriate for a family-oriented, research-level college town. The revenues will be eaten up by the cost of additional security and gambling addiction services. NO CASINO in Centre County.

The rewards are not big enough. Think about the surrounding community, and let’s keep the good things about Happy Valley good.

I don’t think a casino belongs in this wonderful small town. The crime rate will surge along along with DUI and our community will suffer. It will cost the township more than the income will bring in, Parents will consider this a negative for sending students to Penn State. There are plenty of jobs available here .We don’t need a casino for employment

We do not need this here. Penn State is already a joke, don't add this to the list. The fact that I memener of the board of trustees has even the remotest of chances of being tied up in this screams DO NOT PROCEED.
