Endeka gets six month extension for Lawrence Downs project
The Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission granted Endeka Entertainment a six month extension on deadlines for a racetrack and casino in Lawrence County. Chairman Jonathan Newman pushed back the original October 2016 and August 2017 milestones, citing a need for more time to prepare documents and begin construction. County Commissioner Dan Vogler said the decision was unexpected but helpful, noting Endeka has not yet secured a casino license from the Gaming Control Board.
