Empire Resorts Statement Regarding the St. Regis Mohawk
| 09 July 2010 |
Empire Resorts CEO Joseph DAmato commented, We concur with the Tribes assessment that the Monticello Casino and Raceway site is the Tribes best choice for Class III gaming in the Catskills given the important federal, state and local approvals that have taken many years to complete. While it is unfortunate that the Tribe has indicated its intention to explore other Catskill locations where it would have no site specific approvals, Empire Resorts respects the Councils position and we wish them every success.
The St. Regis Mohawk Tribe is only the second tribe in history to obtain the federal two-part determination necessary to own and operate an off-reservation casino. In order to build the casino, the land must be taken into trust and the Tribe has successfully completed nearly all of the many steps necessary to have this done; all of the related approvals are still valid.
Mr. DAmato concluded, Empire Resorts will continue to explore every growth opportunity including the expansion of our existing facility. In terms of tribal gaming, our Monticello Casino and Raceway site has unparalleled infrastructure, approvals and access that will make it a prime location for any future gaming in the Catskills should the St. Regis Mohawks, or any other Tribe, wish to pursue off-reservation gaming in Sullivan County.
