May 31, 2006 Send To A Friend  | Print View

Empire Resorts, Inc. announced Tuesday, May 30, that on Thursday, May 25, Gregory J. Allen, the Senior Assistant Counsel to Governor George Pataki, sent a letter to George T. Skibine, Director of the BIA's Office of Indian Gaming Management, stating that the governor strongly supports the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe's efforts to build a casino at Monticello Raceway. In addition, the letter requested that the BIA expedite its review of any remaining environmental assessment issues and notify the governor's office when all matters have been satisfactorily addressed.

David P. Hanlon, Empire's President and CEO, commented, "We are grateful to the Governor's office, once again, for showing its support for our partners, the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe. We are nearly complete with providing the additional information requested by the BIA and will respectfully await the outcome of their review process."

Empire operates Monticello Raceway and is involved in the development of other legal gaming venues. Empire opened Mighty M Gaming at the raceway site on June 30, 2004. This facility features over 1,500 video gaming machines (VGMs) and amenities such as a 350-seat buffet and live entertainment. Empire is also working to develop a "Class III" Native American casino for the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe on a site adjacent to the raceway and other gaming and non-gaming resort projects in the Catskills region and other areas.
