Plans Underway To Impose Restrictions for Wellsburg Casinos

Proposed restrictions on the location of future casinos‭ ‬passed a first‭ ‬reading‭ ‬by the Wellsburg,‭ ‬West Virginia,‭ ‬City Council,‭ ‬this Tuesday.‭ ‬The proposed regulations‭ ‬were suggested‭ ‬by Mayor‭ ‬Wayne Campbell,‭

The‭ ‬main aim‭ ‬of the proposal‭ ‬is to restrict the construction of new casinos‭ ‬at a distance‭ ‬of‭ ‬600‭ ‬feet‭ ‬from any‭ ‬residential‭ ‬area,‭ ‬park,‭ ‬school,‭ ‬church or another casino.‭

Current casinos will not be affected in anyway,‭ ‬as they have already received licenses from the state.‭ ‬However,‭ ‬the aim of these regulations is to‭ ‬limit the number of‭ ‬casinos built in the future.‭

Until now,‭ ‬council has not forbidden the opening of casinos near residential areas,‭ ‬as commercial and residential areas‭ ‬are often‭ ‬very close to one another.‭
