The Cordish Companies' Maryland Live! Casino and Anne Arundel County recently awarded more than $18.6 million in local impact grants. The grants come from the revenues generated by slots at Maryland Live! Casino and are awarded to public safety departments, education programs, community-based organizations and nonprofit groups.
"Just to give you a perspective, there are kids who will have food because of this casino and the efforts that it's made," Anne Arundel County council member Peter I. Smith said at the Aug. 11 press event.
