Today: Maryland County panel puts casino proposal to a vote
The casino proposal won the support of Maryland voters in a 2012 ballot question. It also has the support of Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker. It could open as soon as July 2016 if the plan receives the necessary approval. The casino would be home to 3,600 slot machines and 140 table games
By mid-2016, the empty plot of land on a steep bank facing the Potomac River in Oxon Hill will be a bustling entertainment hub with gambling, fine dining, shops and shows.
The planned MGM National Harbor casino resort expects to draw 8,000 to 10,000 visitors daily, who along with 4,000 employees, will add an enormous amount of traffic to the roads in this booming area of southern Prince George’s County.
County officials and representatives of MGM Resorts International say the current infrastructure can handle the additional traffic, but some residents, civic leaders and elected leaders dispute their assertions, saying the project, which is one vote away from beginning construction, will exacerbate problems.
