State Legislature Bets on Indian Gaming in Catskills and Western NY

MONTICELLO, NY-In a move prompted in large part by the economic impact on state revenues caused by the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the State Legislature has approved a measure that could foster the development of six Indian-run casinos in New York State.

The Senate and Assembly passed bills on Wednesday evening that authorizes Governor George Pataki to negotiate three Indian casino gaming compacts in the Catskills (two sites in Sullivan and one possible development in Ulster County) as well as three additional casino deals in Western New York (Buffalo/Niagara Falls).

The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe and Park Place Entertainment Corp., who are working to obtain approvals on a proposed casino development at the Kutsher’s Resort Hotel and Country Club in the town of Thompson, say that they expect to break ground on the $500-million project by year-end 2002.
