A casino will bring no good to our community. It will create problems with substance abuse, alcohol and gambling. Social issues may arise. I see no value in having a casino in our community.

As a Penn State alumna, I am horrified at the possibility of opening a casino in State College. Please deny this request and save our young, vulnerable students from debt and addiction.

We do not need a casino to distract our students from their studies or impoverish our neighborhoods. It's not worth the revenue. I don't hear anyone saying "How do we improve our community? Oh, I know, let's open a casino!" We are fortunate to have a strong community but we cannot take it for granted. A casino will not add value to our wonderful community. I am against a casino in this community and feel it is the wrong move here.

I worked for a short time at Harrah's Club in Reno, NV. It was a depressing place. The people most vulnerable and least able to afford it trying to hit it rich. This casino will cause misery throughout the area. People will lose their homes and families trying to get even.

This casino would become a magnet for our youth and unsavory elements looking to compromise them and other vulnerable individuals.

this is not good for a college town. where is the research telling us this is a healthy and safe addition to a town with thousands of young adults and rural individuals. Will this improve their health and wellbeing?
I think the answer is no.

A casino would be a detriment to the culture of State College and Centre County. Surely other ways exist to enhance revenues for the community without the obvious drawbacks.

At a time when we're all picking ourselves back up from the sting of covid the last thing we need is somewhere to throw away more money we don't have. Addiction in any form is not only destructive to one's self but the whole family and community.

There are more positive options to bring more viable retail or other businesses that would fit into our community better. A casino would only bring more substance abuse, as well as gambling and alcohol. I also hate to say it this way, but most of us know what kind of "riff raff" it may bring into the area as well. Happy Valley does not need any of this negativity.

A casino is too much of a temptation to people who can ill-afford to gamble, hoping for the big win.
Oppose the casino!
