Our Investment Is Our Commitment to Enhancing Prosperity for the Entire Pocono Valley Region.

The Pocono Manor Resort & Casino project would encourage significant capital investment in Pennsylvania and the future of its residents. With outlays of approximately $1.4 billion, the project’s capital budget appears to exceed that of all other applicants. Such a strong investment, coupled with expert project planning, design and management of operations, would provide a powerful shield to competition for resort destination dollars from other states with the creation of an unprecedented regional attraction that transcends the convenience-driven market in its current form.

Retail
The project will allow the Pocono Valley region to flourish as a haven for retail businesses not only by generating additional tax revenues and employment from within the project, but also by allowing the resort’s brand to build a strong retailing posture for the entire area. This will be achieved by fostering greater visitation to the region, and offering consumers more choices in shopping opportunities.

Tourism
The project stands to greatly energize the tourism industry of the region. Management would leverage the area’s existing tourism infrastructure and natural beauty, working with other businesses to drive additional year-round visitation for an expanded market produced by the Pocono Manor Resort & Casino’s gaming and non-gaming amenities. Additionally, the project would maximize revenues emanating from other states because of its direct highway access.

Marketing
The project would generate new marketing dollars beneficial to both the Pocono Region and Pennsylvania as a whole. With an additional annual revenue base of approximately $800,000, the Pocono Mountains Vacation Bureau would have the necessary resources to produce a more effective and far-reaching marketing campaign.
