Possible Future Site of Gettysburg, PA Casino

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Keystone Realty RS294813

Well as many of you have probably already heard, a Casino may find it's home in Gettysburg after all.  The first time around the group that formed NO Casino Gettysburg was extremely influential in preventing David LeVan and his investors from acquiring one of the three available state gaming licenses. 

 

The original plan was to place the Casino near the Gateway Gettysburg complex.  This complex is now home of a movie theater, The Wyndham Hotel, Bonefish Grill, and has a lot of room to grow.  A lot of this complex was likely speculation about the Casino coming in.  Gettysburg suffers from lack of lodging in the summer, but the winter months can prove to be somewhat difficult for certain businesses including hotels and restaurants.  Without the presence of the Casino this site can be rather bare at times. This complex is located at the intersection of RT15 and RT30 which are two of the major arteries in and out of town.

Five different groups are currently competing for the last remaining license.  The picture to the right is the potential site of the casino if LeVan and his investors are able to win out over their competition and are granted rights to renovate the Eisenhower Inn and turn it into a Casino which would include both slot machines and table games.  It is believed that this site which is only 2 miles from the MD line will attract a lot of business from Maryland as well as Pennsylvania's that want to make the trip to Gettysburg.  It should be interesting to see how this plays out of the next few months. 

The application deadline is April, with a final decision to be made within a month or two of that deadline.
