The PA public was also allowed to give testimony to the Gaming Control Board about the casino’s impact on the local community.
Furthermore, the PA regulatory body took input from local government, the police, and the Gaming Control Board’s Office of Enforcement Counsel, Bureau of Investigations and Enforcement, Office of Compulsive and Problem Gaming and Bureau of Casino Compliance.
Finally, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board members were allowed to query the operating company about any issues left outstanding.
