State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. has endorsed the launch of the downstate casino licensing process, viewing it as vital for economic development and community wellbeing. He supports the establishment of fair and transparent application procedures. The initiative comes from recent legislation allowing up to three full-scale casino licenses in the downstate area, aimed at job creation and enhancing local entertainment options. Among the attendees, Resorts World New York City submitted a proposal for a massive redevelopment aimed at creating a leading resort in the area, highlighting its commitment to the local community.
The downstate casino gaming expansion brings substantial economic development opportunities with job creation, better entertainment choices for our communities and improved programs to address problem gambling.
The selection of licensees must be conducted with absolute integrity.
The process follows state legislation enacted as part of the FY2023 state budget, which authorized up to three full-scale casino licenses in the downstate region.
Addabbo applauds the launch of New York's downstate casino licensing process, emphasizing it as a critical step toward economic development guided by integrity and fairness.
