Residents in a Prince George’s County community say they’ve been denied proper access to funds promised to them nearly a decade ago with the opening of MGM National Harbor Casino.
Now, one county councilman is pushing for change.
The backstory: It’s been almost ten years since MGM National Harbor Casino opened its doors in Prince George’s County. As part of its original sales pitch, the casino promised to provide a pool of money called “impact funds” to the communities closest to the casino, within a six-mile radius.
The money was supposed to be allocated to improve the lives of local residents, but many say they’re still waiting for the promised funds to be distributed correctly.
