Even those residents of Bethlehem who were initially
against the slot machines coming in to the town have to admit that the slot
machines are bringing with them positive changes for the residents. Now that
the development of the Sands Casino is underway, the Bethlehem Steel Museum
will open due to money raised as a result of the slot machines. Though the
museum had been a town priority for some time, funds were never raised to
build on the site earmarked for the museum.
And the Sands also stands to benefit from the new museum. The more
hospitable the town, the more welcome visitors feel. Though the casino will
definitely be the main attraction in Bethlehem, the Steel Museum will offer
the tourists, vacationers, and out-of-towners the chance to explore the
charms of Bethlehem when they are not gambling at the slot machines and the
roulette tables.
Now there is still a chance that all of the funds will not be raised for the
museum, but others have remarked that now that the Sands has final approval
to build and develop, the museum will most definitely find the funding. CCS
Fundraising is primarily responsible for the project, and luckily for the
town, and the future of the museum, CCS has a 90 percent success rate at
raising funds.
