BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (AP) – Local residents and members of the general public are getting a chance to voice their opinions on a Southern Tier racino’s proposal to expand into a full casino.
A public hearing on Tioga Downs’ bid for a casino license is scheduled for Friday in Binghamton. Hundreds of people are expected to attend.
Tioga Downs submitted a bid for a casino license last year, but the board instead recommended three other projects around the state. The racino submitted a second application when bidding was reopened for a fourth license.
The revised proposal includes a new hotel, restaurants, and a concert venue.
There’s no timetable for a decision on the license.
