ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) – A proposed Las Vegas-style casino in the Southern Tier is moving closer to a final decision.
The board that recommended a full casino license for Tioga Downs last fall is scheduled to formally adopt their findings Tuesday in New York City. The procedural move is required by state law.
A final decision by state regulators on Tioga’s license is expected later this year.
Licenses have already been issued for casinos in Schenectady, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes.
The Southern Tier racetrack and video casino was rejected in the first round of casino applications. But a state siting board signed off on Tioga’s plan in October.
