Leaders of a camp for children with chronic illnesses and disabilities are raising concerns about the potential for a casino to be built near the camp as state lawmakers consider expanding legalized gambling in North Carolina.

The leaders of Camp Carefree on U.S. 220 in Rockingham County learned of the potential project earlier this month when they received word that the county’s planning board was considering a rezoning request by NC Development Holdings.

Records with the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office show that NC Development Holdings is tied to the Cordish Companies, which is a casino developer based in Maryland.
