PHILADELPHIA-The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has granted HSP Gaming LLP’s request that the city and related entities process the permit applications, and issue the permits necessary to build its SugarHouse casino on Delaware Avenue. The court’s decision follows HSP’s petition for review and application for summary relief , submitted in late October, as GlobeSt.com previously reported.

The court directed the city to “take all actions necessary to implement the relief granted, including making all necessary changes to city records, maps and plans, and receiving and reviewing and acting upon all applications from HSP…in compliance with this court’s order.”

Following the decision, SugarHouse principals held a press briefing in the offices of its law firm, Cozen O’Conner, saying it expects to break ground for the $550-million slots and entertainment facility “in the coming weeks,” with an anticipated opening by October 2009.
