It won't be open until 2010. They just broke ground last week, and already the CSBCC is clouded with controvery. But Mr. Golisano, the founder of Paychex, owner of the Buffalo Sabres hockey team and a three-time candidate for governor on the Independence Party line, said that by catering to people in the area, the planned casino would hurt the city. "It's not going to bring people or dollars in from very far outside the area," said Mr. Golisano. "I think it's a transfer of money from local citizens to the Seneca Gaming Corporation and I don't know how that helps Buffalo."
All I know is that its going to be a 9 Acre - $333 million project, has over 90k sq. ft. Casino w/ 4 restaurants, a glass hotel tower with 208 suites with gorgeous views of Lake Erie. Also a Concierge floor on the 21st story with a giant video screen on the hotel's exterior to display live images from within the casino.
GB's take - A resort like that will house roughly 1,000 jobs and bring in much needed business from outside of the Buffallo area. The City is bound to make roughly 7-9 million per from the Casino alone. Crime hasn't changed in nearby Niagra Falls which undertook the same project some years ago. Seems like it would be a great move for the city and tourism industry. Golisano, calm down... it will put more fans in your seats, and revenue to your city.
