As the New York casino gaming scene continues to emerge downstate, upstate, development is well underway.
The Seneca Nation of Indians, who were granted three licenses for casinos in northern New York already have properties in Niagara and Alleghany.
In Buffalo, opened a temporary facility three months ago, but now it has unveiled plans for its permanent facility. The massive $333 million property will feature a 90,000 square foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 45 table games; and a 22-story all-suite hotel complete with four restaurants, a full-service spa and salon and attached 2,500-vehicle parking garage. It’s to be built on the Seneca’s nine-acre Buffalo Creek Territory in downtown Buffalo. The permanent casino is expected to open in Spring 2010, followed about three months later by the opening of hotel complex. "Our new vision creates a landmark structure that will be a major attraction in downtown Buffalo - one that we hope will play a pivotal role in the economic growth of the City and surrounding area," said Maurice A. John, Sr., President of the Seneca Nation of Indians. The project also features a three-acre public park to be located at the corner of Perry Street and Michigan Avenue, where the temporary casino now stands. Once complete, the new casino is expected to provide the city of Buffalo with between $5 million - $7 million for the local economy. "When the City of Buffalo reached agreement in October 2006 with the Seneca Nation on the development of the future Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino, I stated that the agreement was good for the City of Buffalo and today's announcement reinforces that statement," said Mayor Byron W. Brown. "This is a project that will both produce needed jobs and revenue to the City, as well as create a three-acre public park in an area of the city that has been nothing more than a shadow of its industrial past." The unveiling of the final designs is just the latest milestone in a development project that is expected to be one of the largest in the City's history. On October 4, 2005, the Seneca Nation announced that it had purchased nine acres of land in Buffalo's Inner Harbor area for the purpose of developing its third and final gaming and entertainment complex in Western New York. Since that time, the site, much of which housed buildings that had gone unused for decades, has been cleared and the $6 million temporary casino built and opened for business. "Not long ago, many signs of Buffalo's past sat on this site. For years, those signs served as a reminder of what was but gave no indication and no hope for what could be," said Barry E. Snyder, Sr., Chairman, Seneca Gaming Corporation. "Today we see what the future holds, and we think it is an ambitious future full of promise for the Seneca Nation, for the City of Buffalo and for Western New York." Inside the hotel, which is expected to be four star quality, visitors will find 206 suites, ranging in size from 450 square feet up to 2,000 square feet. Aside from creating a 24-hour-per-day attraction in an area that has been the focus of renewed development plans of late, Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino will also deliver an influx of new jobs to downtown Buffalo. Once completed, the permanent Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino will employ more than 1,000 workers with a total annual payroll of approximately $38 million. Already one of Western New York's largest private sector employers, Seneca Gaming Corporation currently has more than 4,200 employees at its existing operations, with a 2006 payroll totaling more than $99 million. Work on the project's foundation is scheduled to start before the end of the year, with more labor-intensive construction commencing in the spring and lasting approximately two years. "This project is the result of vision, dedication and a willingness to invest," Snyder said. "The project is real. The investment is real. The jobs are real, and the future for this record project is now."
