Seneca Nation buys 32 acres near Rochester; possible site for casino
By CAROLYN THOMPSON, Associated Press | Updated Yesterday
BUFFALO (AP) — The Seneca Indian Nation has acquired 32 acres in a Rochester suburb as the potential site of a fourth western New York casino, the nation's gambling division said Monday.
The Henrietta site is within an area of New York where, under an agreement with the state, the Senecas have exclusive rights to operate casinos.
Seneca Gaming Corp. officials said there are no specific plans yet for the Monroe County parcel, which is located in a commercial district, but believe it is ideal for a Seneca-operated casino and other amenities, including a hotel, restaurants and shops operated by local developers.
Gaming Corp. President and Chief Executive Cathy Walker said Seneca officials plan to meet with community and civic leaders for input.
