Senecas Expected to Sign Catskills Casino Contract on Thursday

Seneca Nation officials are expected to be in Sullivan County Thursday to formally announce and sign a contract to build a 2 million-square-foot casino and resort in the Catskills.

The Seneca Nation Legislative Council and Sullivan County lawmakers approved a deal in which the municipalities surrounding the casino receive a $15.5 million payment every year from proceeds generated by the gaming operations. In Cattaraugus, Erie and Niagara counties, the payments are based on a percentage of the slot machine revenues.

The casino will have 6,000 slot machines, 120 game tables and 30 poker tables. The complex will also feature a 1,500-room hotel and spa, a 5,000-seat arena, 12 restaurants and other retail space.

The project is the largest economic development proposal in the Hudson Valley.
