Bally’s Corporation, a renowned casino operator, is eyeing a 2025 start date for the construction of a new casino at the Nittany Mall in State College, Pennsylvania. The proposed project has generated significant excitement and interest among local residents and business owners, as it promises to bring a much-needed economic boost to the area.
The plans for the new casino were first announced by Bally’s CEO George Papanier during a press conference held at the Nittany Mall earlier this week. Papanier outlined the company’s vision for the project, which includes a state-of-the-art gaming facility, upscale restaurants, and a variety of entertainment options for visitors.
The Nittany Mall casino is expected to create hundreds of new jobs for the local community and generate millions of dollars in revenue for the area. In addition, Bally’s has pledged to work closely with local businesses and organizations to ensure that the project benefits the entire region.
“We are thrilled to be bringing a world-class casino to State College and are confident that it will be a major draw for tourists and residents alike,” said Papanier. “We have carefully considered the needs and preferences of the local community and are confident that our plans for the Nittany Mall casino will exceed their expectations.”
The proposed casino has already generated a great deal of interest and excitement among State College residents, many of whom see it as a potential boon for the local economy. “I think the casino will be a great addition to our community and will help to bring more visitors to the area,” said local resident Sarah Thompson. “I am excited to see how it will impact the local businesses and bring new opportunities for growth.”
Despite the positive reception from the community, the project still faces several hurdles before construction can begin. Bally’s will need to secure regulatory approval from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, as well as navigate a series of zoning and permitting processes at the local level.
If all goes according to plan, the Nittany Mall casino is expected to open its doors to the public in 2027, providing a much-needed boost to the local economy and offering residents and visitors a new and exciting entertainment option in the heart of State College. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting development in the coming years.
