DC LOTTERY RESCHEDULES IGAMING COMMUNITY OUTREACH MEETINGS
August 13, 2011
The D.C. Lottery announced today that it will reschedule community outreach meetings previously set for mid-August and September to discuss the potential implementation of iGaming in the District of Columbia. The meetings scheduled in the 8 Wards of the District along with the ANC Chairs were part of a larger commitment to give the public a platform to voice their concerns and opinions about internet gaming in the District of Columbia following a June 29, 2011 public hearing.
“We have heard concerns raised by some community residents about holding the meetings during the summer months; therefore, we intend to reschedule the community meetings. Our goal is to reach the largest number of District residents possible and to provide a forum to receive community input concerning the implementation of an iGaming program in the District of Columbia,” said Buddy Roogow, Executive Director of D.C. Lottery and Charitable Games Board.
The community meetings along with the ANC meeting will be rescheduled commencing mid-September and concluding sometime in October. A revised community meeting calendar will be made public within the coming weeks.
