The former Lowe’s Home Improvement store building on South Conestoga Drive in Shippensburg Township is Greenwood Racing’s newly proposed location for its mini casino, according to recent filings with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) and the municipality.
The owner of one of Pennsylvania’s largest gambling venues, Parx Casino in Bucks County, abandoned a vacant site on Cramer Road for its future smaller casino due to a number of concerns that arose with the location after further investigation more than a year ago, including one that may have led to the company shelling out millions of dollars to build a new overpass at the Interstate 81 Exchange, due to its proximity to it.
