Summary: The Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem, arguably Pennsylvania’s most successful casino with a decade of history in the area, is being sold for $1.3 billion to Wind Creek Hospitality, a group owned by a Native American tribe in Alabama. In this week’s episode, we have three questions to answer: Who are these new owners, why would they be interested in the Bethlehem casino, and what does this mean for the old structures of the now-defunct Bethlehem Steel Plant, which are now changing hands? Guests: Nicole Radzievich, Bethlehem City Hall reporter, and Jon Harris, business reporter for The Morning Call; as well as Tony Hanna, director of the Bethlehem Redevelopment Authority. Valley View is a production of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania, sponsored by the Lehigh Center for Clinical Research. Music in this episode is by Huw Jones, Sam Brown, Gavin Skinner and Matthew O'Connor.
