Since the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania played host the bloodiest battle in the American Civil War, the struggle between the forces of development and those of preservation has continued to wage on.
With today’s ongoing effort to protect the battlefield and restore other areas in the region to their original condition, preservationists have found a new threat trying to invade.
The Casino Industry.
Casino supporters feel that the $75 million Mason-Dixon Resort & Casino project would rescue a long-struggling resort, saving existing jobs and creating hundreds of new ones.
Developer David LeVan has argued that the resort is far enough from the battlefield that it won’t be a threat. He feels the history along a stretch of Emmitsburg Road has already been erased by the construction of motels and businesses in the last century.
LeVan, a Gettysburg native and long-time supporter of preserving the battle field is not the only local in favor of the economic boom a casino could create.
“I am passionate about the battlefield, too,” said hobby shop owner Tommy Gilbert. “The battlefield is protected. What we need is an economic shot in the arm.”
