The Parx Casino in Shippensburg’s general manager, Kevin Brady, said it will also bring more jobs to the area. It’s always been so small and it’s always been like a really nice, homey feeling, and now it’s gonna be like so many people all the time, traffic all the time,” Hill said. Some local members of the Shippensburg community are excited about the addition, while others, like Emily Hill, are sad to see the town grow. These municipalities and countries can then use that for a myriad of things, whether it is for safety projects, fire houses, for parks and recreation,” Harbach said. “They also have a local share money that goes into it. Pennsylvania’s Gaming Control Board communications director, Doug Harbach said the new casino will usher money into Shippensburg Township. On Monday and Tuesday, the casino held test days to make sure their machines are working properly, and their staff is ready for opening day. After over a year in the making, Parx Casino is gearing up for its grand opening in Shippensburg.
