The Inquirer’s Jeff Shields reported in December that the [Gaming] Board was moving out of its Conshohocken offices because of a conflict of interest with its landlord. Seven months later the Board is still in its offices at 1100 E. Hector St. The Board’s landlord, Preferred Real Estate Investments is run by Mike O’Neill, who is both an investor in and landlord to the TrumpStreet casino.

Communications Director Nicholas Hays blamed the delay on the state procurement process. “The PGCB expects to move its Southeast office into new quarters this summer,” said Hays in a terse email. “The contract for the new offices was bid out through the regular process. The facility is currently being readied for out staff to move in.”
