93 businesses in Adams County oppose the casino, most because they respect the historic identity of the area, want to keep our family-friendly, small town community and because their customers tell them it will be a big turn-off. Since heritage tourism is the community’s main source of income, there is an economic reason to oppose this.
These businesses testified before the PGCB on Sept 30 using an independent report by Mike Siegel. Mr. Siegel’s report is available here.

Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, 61 Seminary Ridge, Gettysburg, PA 17325

5/4/2005 Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg Protests Casino Plans Seminary President Michael Cooper-White, interpreting this action as a part of the 179 year-old graduate school’s role within the greater community, said “Gettysburg Seminary has a long standing commitment to be a good citizen concerned for the well-being of this community that is our home. Our board went on record opposing activities that in our best judgment will detract from the well-being of local residents and our millions of guests.” The Seminary board also called upon “the greater Gettysburg community, its institutions and governmental authorities to join in opposition against any plans to develop a legalized gambling enterprise in Adams County of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.” The board’s discussion centered around three issues related to gambling concern, focusing on economic justice, community impact and symbolic consideration of Gettysburg as a national historic treasure.
