If Bethlehem, Pennsylvania city council approves a developers wish for a gambling license the developer promises to preserve more than half of the vacant Bethlehem Steel buildings by building a slots parlor and hotel. A casino resort.

''We're going to save Bethlehem Steel's legacy, we're going to create jobs, we're going to buy local goods and we're going to make room for local business people,'' Perrucci said

This casino resort is slated to be a $350 million dollar resort. They plan to hire local labor and create jobs.

On September 20th Bethlehem, PA city council will vote on whether to ban casinos and gambling in south Bethlehem.

''Very impressive, very interesting,'' said Councilman Joseph Leeson Jr., one of two council members supporting a zoning change that would ban casinos & gambling from the Steel land. ''I'm not ready to change my view, but I'm interested in hearing more.''
