The owner of Greenetrack casino has decided to close down the business Wednesday but did not provide any other details as to why he made the decision.
Eutaw mayor Latasha Johnson says she is disappointed and frustrated about the news. She says the casino provides critical funds to police, the hospital and local county schools. The city receives $4,000 a month from bingo charity funds.
“We rely on the monthly funding and so do the schools and hospitals and nursing home and the county municipalities,” Johnson said. “It’s been a great help to us the money that we receive from Greenetrack and other bingo facilities.”
