Laurel Run seeks game cash

LAUREL RUN – Mayor Daniel Gildea will be meeting state Department of Community and Economic Development officials Friday in an effort to bring gaming grants to the borough.

Since the program to provide local governments with money from casinos’ slots revenues was introduced, neither Laurel Run nor Bear Creek Township has received gaming revenue grants, even though they are contiguous to Plains Township, where the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Down casino is located.

Laurel Run has requested $848,000 in various grants, most of which would be spent on developing the Giant’s Despair location as a park, and integrating it into a trail running between the Ashley Planes and the Seven Tubs park.
