Casino Proposals Move Forward
As reported by the Pocono Record:
"The two proposed casino projects in the
Poconos each took a step forward Wednesday.
"The
land development plan for Mount Airy Lodge was
submitted to Paradise Township, while the developers
of Pocono Manor said they plan to start their
gaming operation with a temporary casino, which
could be up and running within months if Pocono
Manor receives a gaming license.
"Businessman
Louis DeNaples, owner of Mount Airy Lodge in
Paradise Township, and real estate developer
Greg Matzel, owner of Pocono Manor in Tobyhanna
Township, will compete with five other developers
for two available licenses to open a 'standalone'
slots casino, with up to 5,000 slot machines.
The state Gaming Control Board plans to issue
the licenses later this year…"
