A top executive who helped shepherd the development of the Happy Valley Casino and led its operations has departed his position less than two months after the College Township venue’s opening.
Eric Pearson is no longer general manager of the category 4 casino casino located at the Nittany Mall in what majority owner Saratoga Casino Holdings described on Monday as a planned move.
The company credited Pearson as “an integral part of the planning and opening of Happy Valley Casino.”
“From the outset, the plan included Eric transitioning to new opportunities following the successful launch of the property,” Saratoga wrote in a statement to StateCollege.com.
