I am opposed to having a casino in Centre County and so close to a large university. Especially now that a fireworks outlet will be opening, less that a mile from the proposed home of the casino. The local police will have their hands full with both of these businesses in close proximity to college students. Say "no" to this casino!

State College does not need a conduit to gambling addiction.

Turning the mall into an outlet mall will be better for all local businesses/restaurants. A casino will hurt too many.

A Casino close to such a large university where students already fight addictions and debt is a horrible idea. No good will come of it.

I disapprove of a casino in our town. I think there are better things to put inside that mall to help others. Let's be creative .... Also some say casinos bring higher suicide rates, are bad for compulsive gamblers or those with that personality trait, an increase in personal bankruptcies, the breakup of some families. I am not sure if it will affect our home property values but in some areas it does. A CNN report said, "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." The National Council on Problem Gambling estimates that gambling addictions cost the U.S. $6.7 billion annually, and some experts believe that cost could be even higher. Let's not contribute to this.

Our community serves some very vulnerable populations who are prone to addictions. We do not need to add a casino to our community.

Because these are unusually stressful times people will flock to the casino for a false sense of relief. They will spend money the can’t afford to lose.

I lived in Las Vegas... A casino so close to residential and local businesses is wrong. While I can see the potential for jobs and entertainment, I have also witnessed how it attracts/ can provide place for things we might not want as part of our community. I'm being polite.. sometimes it gets ugly.

Bad for the area. Having a PSU trustee as the key backer is despicable.
