As part of the consideration of an “operational license,” the PGCB will host a minimum of two (2) public hearings on any proposed casino location.
On August 16, 2021, the PGCB hosted the first of these public hearings on the proposed Category 4 Mini-Casino application at the Penn Stater Conference Center located in College Township. The PGCB accepted public comment on the proposed project from that date through 5:00 pm on Sunday, June 12, 2022.
The second public hearing on this project will be held in Harrisburg where SC Gaming Op Co., LLC representatives and the PGCB’s Office of Enforcement Counsel will offer any updated evidence and make oral argument as to whether the license should be granted. The date for this second public hearing has yet to be announced.
