County panel to vote on casino next week

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — Prince George’s County officials will vote on the building plan for a $925 million, Las Vegas-style casino and resort near the nation’s capital next week, officials said Monday after a public hearing.

Members of the county council put off a vote until next Monday, because three members of the nine-member panel were away. The vote by the county council’s district council, which considers zoning and land use, is considered the last major hurdle before construction can begin. Work on grading the site at National Harbor already has started.
