纽约小镇举办集会来了解公众对于赌场的看法

mgy2011

纽约州的一个小镇准备开启针对是否打算建造一座新赌场的讨论。纽约州州长Andrew Cuomo最近在一个预算建议中说他希望为三家商业赌场授权，就如该地区其他州类似的举措一样。

纽约州，乔治湖市长，被报道正在准备在周二举办一场公共讨论会，来看看当地居民对于将要建设在这里的项目有何看法。

萨拉托加温泉和埃塞克斯郡的官员被报道已经表达他们对于赌场度假村的兴趣。罗切斯特也被报道位列其中。

纽约目前有许多部落赌场以及赌马场，但是没有全方面拉斯维加斯风格的赌场度假村。Big time博彩公司和赌场开发商希望有一天赌场能在纽约市被允许开设，现在看起来还不太可能。州长正在考虑促进该州其他地方的旅游业。

纽约州人口为1940万。

在纽约准备加强当地博彩业时，邻近的新泽西州已经为了保护当地博彩业迈出了积极的步伐。大西洋城博彩业从2006年起开始衰退，立法者们已经在今年年初通过网络博彩合法化。

New York Town To Hold Meeting To Gauge Public Interest In Casino Gambling

One town in New York is about to start discussions of whether or not it wants to be in consideration for a brand new casino. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently said in a budget proposal that he wants to authorize three commercial casinos upstate — a move which goes in line with similar moves in the region.

The mayor of Lake George, New York, reportedly has scheduled a public forum for Tuesday to see what residents think about such a project coming to their neck of the woods.

Public officials in Saratoga Springs and Essex County reportedly have already expressed their respective interest in a casino resort. Rochester also reportedly is in the mix.

New York currently has many tribal casinos and racinos, but no full-scale, Las Vegas-style casino resort. Big time gambling firms and casino developers are hoping that one day a casino would be allowed in New York City, as that looks to be off the table at the present time. The governor is looking to increase tourism to other parts of the state.

The Empire State is home to 19.4 million people.

While New York looks to beef up its gambling industry, neighboring New Jersey has taken aggressive steps toward protecting what it already has. Atlantic City has been slumping since 2006, and lawmakers there legalized Internet gambling earlier this year.
