Cumberland approves casino resolution

Township guaranteed at least $1 million in revenues annually.

The Cumberland Township Board of Supervisors signed a resolution Monday afternoon with Mason Dixon Resort & Casino, guaranteeing the township at least $1 million annually in local share revenues, if the proposed gaming project comes to fruition.

Supervisors voted 4-0 to sign the resolution, and enter into a “memorandum of understanding” with Mason Dixon, led by local businessman David LeVan. The fifth board member, Debra Golden, abstained from voting. LeVan is hoping to transform the Eisenhower Inn in Cumberland Township into a slots resort. Legal agreements signed Monday require LeVan to submit a comprehensive land development plan before continuing his project.
