Pennsylvania board changes hearing schedule

HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania – (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board today announced changes to its schedule of Licensing Hearings for Category 2 operator applicants.

Executive Director Anne Neeb said the schedule remains largely the same, with the exception that the Category 2 At-Large hearings have been moved from November 6-7 to December 4-5. She noted that the new hearing schedule assists the public and media by avoiding the busy November 7th Election Day, but without altering the Board's overall timetable for awarding licenses by the end of the year.

"These are minor changes to the Category 2 hearing schedule and most importantly permit us to remain on track to vote on all permanent licenses on December 20th," Neeb added.

In addition, the hearing for Crossroads Gaming Resort and Spa LP has been grouped within the same two-day block as the hearings for the four other Category 2 At-Large applicants. There are also some minor changes to the start times of the Category 2 hearings for the Philadelphia and Pittsburgh applicants.

Licensing hearings for the Category 3 resort applicants are still scheduled for October 25th. The location remains the same for all hearings: the State Museum Auditorium on Third and North streets in Harrisburg.
