New details have been released about a proposed casino in the Rochester area.

Assemblymember Harry Bronson attended a meeting with the governor’s office Wednesday night and with Seneca Nation top leaders Thursday morning. During both sessions, the discussion focused on the Seneca Nation of Indians’ effort to construct in Monroe County.

“We met with top officials in the office who are knowledgeable regarding the discussions that they have been having with the Senecas,” said Bronson. “We were able to confirm some of the things that had already been leaked.”

The Rochester Majority Delegation also talks about the Seneca Nation’s gaming compact renewal. The Seneca Nation already owns and operates three casinos in Western New York.
