SPRINGFIELD — Penn National Gaming will make a presentation on its proposal for a downtown casino at the Forest Park Civic Association monthly meeting on Sunday.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Bing Arts Center, 716 Sumner Ave.
The proposed meeting agenda also includes a request for a recommendation regarding a special permit for reuse of the property at 232-234 Orange St. The recommendation for this permit will eventually come from the Forest Park Civic Association after the potential uses and modifications are discussed.
“When a property has been closed for a period of time a special permit is required by the city to reopen the building. We are hoping petitioners show up to the meeting and state their plans for the property,” said Jane Hetzel, a member of the association.
This meeting is open to everyone, and attendees are encouraged to raise any other neighborhood issues or concerns.
