As a former thrapist who worked weith students, I am concerned about the negative effects this will have for students. They have enough problems without getting involved in gambling, which no doubt will happen if a casino is here.

A casino near PSU is a terrible idea.

My daughter is a student at Penn State University Park. My late father in law was a professor and my husband an alumni. I appreciate the revenue generation casinos can provide. However, the proximity to the college does not promote healthy behaviors for the 40,000 youth where a lack of maturity in the prefrontal cortex (impulse control) meets first years of independence.

Do not allow this casino to happen. How about an indoor market like Reading Terminal instead? Something that would make a positive impact on the community would be so much better for everyone.

I share the view of local residents who believe a casino in this location is not a good idea for State College.

A casino in State College is bad for the community, our children, and the students of Penn State. I am strongly opposed to any casino in our college town.

As a small business owner, I'd appreciate local spending staying local, and going to better causes. Gambling addiction is all too real and it creates knock-on effects on families and on marginalized people in our community. Allowing this casino to operate will only burden our already strained human service nonprofits in Centre County. I'm not convinced that the economic benefits outweigh the potential harm. Enough already!

It's just another way to ruin people's lives and the lives of their children. And who are the winners? Not the people of State College

The leadership at the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board should be asking why Penn State refuses to comment either for or against this particular casino at the Nittany Mall? If one of those many well-known Las Vegas or Atlantic City casino developers planned to open a 24/7 gambling den in State College, Penn State would not hesitate to speak out swiftly, loudly, and publicly! The license for this Nittany Mall Casino needs to be strongly and swiftly denied! We do not want a casino in Happy Valley!
A casino is detrimental to a university community
