Racino will determine plant size

HILLSVILLE, Pa. – Mahoning Township supervisors may downsize a planned sewage treatment plant if the proposed “racino” is not built in the township.

The racino project is on hold while its Indiana developers Centaur Inc. look for new financing.  Supervisor Gary Pezzulo said at Tuesday’s meeting that township officials have heard that Centaur may have found a financial partner and will be making an announcement shortly. He said he expects something to happen before the end of the year.

In the meantime, however, supervisors are doing preparatory work on the $20 million sanitary sewer project and must decide whether to change plans and build a smaller sewage treatment plant that would be sufficient if the racino is not included.
