In June 2006, the Senecas unveiled designs for a $125 million permanent casino, then upped the ante in October 2007 with blueprints for a $333 million casino complex. It’s billed as the largest privately-funded construction project in Buffalo’s history.
Plans call for a 22-story, 206 suite hotel tower, to complement a 90,000-square-foot casino, with 2,000 slot machines and some 45 table games. The complex would also house four restaurants, a spa and include a 2,500-vehicle parking deck.
The facility is expected to employ more than 1,000 and generate some $7 million a year in revenues to the host community. Buffalo and Erie County are squabbling over each’s share.
Sounds like a great thing to sue to stop.
IB4 Dozr. (I’m pretty sure he was the one against the casino)
This ruling probably won’t mean anything. As of this morning I read that both sides where already planning on an appeal if they lost.
