The casino is likely to be the anchor for other major development in the immediate area. One $100,000,000 project already has been presented to the Planning Board, to be located a little further west on Rte 318, and proposing "hundreds of thousands" of sq feet of retail & commercial space on a 155 acre parcel. Last week NYS gave Seneca County a $750,000 grant to put in a sewer system along Rte 318, extending up to the Premium Outlets site, removing one major hurdle to further development.
