With opponents of the Nittany Mall casino continuing to urge developers to halt plans, SC Gaming’s CEO made clear Thursday that the casino will be happening, but offered up a chance to have a dialogue with community members and address concerns about the project.

Company CEO Eric Pearson was in attendance at Thursday’s College Township Council meeting to deliver an update on the future $120 million casino. It came about a week after Bally’s Corp. announced it dropped out of its nearly four-year partnership with Penn State alumnus Ira Lubert-owned SC Gaming, citing a shift in corporate strategy.
