It's a bad decision to bring a casino into the town.

I believe that a casino will not be a benefit to State College or the surrounding community.

This town has always been safe place, and with Casino opening, State College will never the same.

Locating a casino near a major college campus where drinking and risky behaviors are already prevalent is just a bad idea. Research supports this conclusion.

A casino will do nothing to add to the State College community except foster and encourage addictive behavior. The negatives far out weigh the positives.

Too much gambling in P A. Enough is Enough. Cause's Many Problems for families. Suicides, Big Mental Health Problems, Some lose everything. It is not all glitz and glamor. M

The casino, with associated businesses, will degrade the historical, cultural and environmental life of the area, turning a once special part of PA to just another area of urban sprawl.

I live and work in Centre County. I see no value in having a casino in our community with its large college student population.

I am a PSU alumni class of 1972. I believe a casino in the PSU/State College area will degrade the university and town. I am not opposed to casino’s in general, just locating them in residential communities and by schools or universities—-very bad idea that could attract bad elements

Gambling nearly ruined my life and put me in a HUGE amount of debt. These places are designed to create compulsive gambling habits/gambling addictions. we need a local rehab for various addictions not a casinos

This is a university town with a high population of young impressionable students. It's in the best interest of the thriving scientific community and young students to not have a Casino here. I truly believe a Casino would be antithetical to the spirit of this academic town and runs the danger of disturbing the peace and safety.

This county does not need a casino here in State College. The threat of crime and gambling addiction, especially with a large university student body, should be a major concern to those who actually live here. Additionally, a casino typically has a negative affect local property values, which is something we who own property in this area of greatly concerned with due to the investment we've made to live here. I am greatly against this casino and I do hope that it is not approved to move forward.

I lived in NJ when the first casinos were proposed there. They became degrading blights on all those communities that they went into. PLEASE don't allow this in our small town.
