There are many examples of ways to repurpose malls that can enhance communities that don’t include setting up a casino in an area that already has a large jail nearby.

It's common practice that casinos don't have clocks or windows so people are unaware of how long they have been gambling and so they (and what's left of their money) stay in the casino. This doesn't translate to spending in the community, at a minimum, and sets up even worse outcomes. No to the proposed casino at the Nittany Mall. We can do better.

This is a recipe for disaster both for State College families and PSU students who already have mounting debt.

Gambling is a “tax on the poor” because of the disproportionate number of lower-income Americans who participate in it.
Casinos do not revive local economies. They act as parasites upon them. Communities located within 10 miles of a casino exhibit double the rate of problem gambling. Unsurprisingly, such communities also suffer higher rates of home foreclosure and other forms of economic distress and domestic violence.

No to the casino in our community. Let's work to build up families, not allow an enterprise for their harm.

Please do not allow the casino to be built in State College or any town within 100 miles of this community. The problems that will result will grossly outweigh any tax benefit. This is not good for our community v

Please DO NOT bring this casino to State College. There are so any more good and creative ideas that could be implemented with this property. Every community deserves better. Gambling is a quick money maker for a few and a terrible blight for the many.

Please reconsider the proposal for a casino in State College. For my part, I strongly disagree with the proposal.

Casinos are only built to make money. This means the people playing lose money. We do not want to support this in our community.
