Local support is a requirement for upstate casino applications

By MATTHEW L. McKIBBEN

The state Gaming Facility Location Board released application guidelines for casino licenses last week, establishing the guidelines for potential developers who are looking to build destination casino resorts in upstate New York.

In the pages of the 80-page document is language that identifies formal community support as a necessity for the board to review an application. The document reads, "For purposes of this requirement, local support means a post-November 5, 2013 resolution passed by the local legislative body of the host municipality supporting the application."
