Perryville's mayor and town commissioners have approved the preliminary site plan for a slots casino. The approval on Tuesday night brings the plan for a casino on a 30-acre parcel off Route 222 in Cecil County near Interstate 95 closer to reality.
Perryville is one of five spots in Maryland approved for slots gambling through a referendum last year. Town Planner Mary Ann Skilling says officials want to eventually see the development of entertainment, retail and residential areas in the area.
The Stewart and Associates-led project still must get final approval.
