College Township supervisors are moving closer to creating an impact study to address potential community impacts of the Nittany Mall casino scheduled to open next year.
College Township received a local impact study of the Nittany Mall casino back in 2021 from Philadelphia-based Econsult Solutions, Inc. That study found a net-positive impact on local tourism and tax revenue, and minimal traffic impact.
“Council is actually interested in doing our own impact study in order to refresh and update those numbers, but also to address and to identify those kind of health and human service issues that are out there that we’ve heard so much about from various constituents,” said College Township Manager Adam Brumbaugh.
