Casino site report unveiled

Mayor Street's Gaming Advisory Task Force will today release the final version of its recommendations concerning sites for the two future slots parlors in Philadelphia. This report narrows the previous contenders from 11 (see here) to the best 6, and not only ranks the sites but discusses which pairings would be most beneficial to the region. The Daily News story gives more details, including the recommendation that Penn's Landing and the Disney Hole (at 8th and Market) be kept casino-free, and also provides a map of the recommended sites. Their editorial page endorses the report's approach, thoroughness, and guidance.
