Move. http://www.wkbw.com/Story.aspx?type=ln&NStoryID=6670 It's not the terminals. It's property near it. Going to be a new build. At least channel 7 spelled my dad's name right.

#41 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 http://www.wkbw.com/Story.aspx?preview=&ty...n&NStoryID=6684 Opponents speak up against new casino Oct 04, 2005 - Not everybody's excited about today's announcement. The town of Cheektowaga was originally chosen by the Senecas as the site of the new casino. The state nixed that plan in court, saying the compact required the casino be built in the city of Buffalo. Cheektowaga officials challenged that ruling and until yesterday, they held out hope that the complex would be built in their town. “The compact clearly states that if the Seneca nation could not find a suitable site for whatever reason in the city of Buffalo that they could locate anywhere in Erie County, and originally they chose the town of Cheektowaga,” said Dennis Gabryszak, Cheektowaga town supervisor. They aren't the only ones against the new casino; another vocal opponent is Roman Catholic Bishop Edward Kmiec. 7 News will hear his reaction later today at 5 p.m. It's too bad, it should've went to Cheektowaga. Buffalo just threw a tantrum about it. Compact stated the county, not the city. Wasn't good enough for them. That would've been a new build too. Also, we don't want any monte carlo/bingo nights to get screwed up do we, Bishop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesir Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Is your dad Dennis Gabryszak or Barry Snyder??? Be a little less cryptic please. Are you saying it is a new build because you have inside knowlwdge or because of the WIVB report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#41 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 It's 9 acres next to the terminal site. No news yet on when they're going to start work. It will also allow them to centeralize the offices between the Falls and Salamanca. Couldn't get the video from those sites to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terminal might've been a fallback. Places like the Statler were never seriously considered, just stories floated to the News from the people that control those sites to orchestrate some outside pressure. Other places were never really on the table, like the Pier and places like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also love the idea of using/fixing up those classic looking structures. Why do they want to build a new building next to an old terminal?

#41 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Could've been limited floor space. Not sure if something still might happen. New place will have 2000 machines. Not sure if the terminal could've fit those in there. Also, not sure what shape that place was in structurally - as far as adding on a hotel and things like that.

It now says area near the teminal and that negotiations for the terminal are continuing. I just hope that this all moves forward. Bass Pro, the casino, the Canal thing. I'm so tired of being disappointed by the big promises that end up falling apart. I love this area and would love the area to get its act together and make it worth staying here.

Very good chance the area could take off if things fell into place. The problem always being bad ideas for the downtown area, too bad they're too threatened to hire a city manager of sorts to tie things together.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Brilliant...another development project in a part of town with nothing but Dunn Tire Park and HSBC Arena. I hope this casino can attract some nightlife to that part of town. I recall the Frozen Four...people from out of town were wandering wondering where the restaurants and clubs were. I had to tell them they were a mile away on Chippawa Street. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#41 Posted October 6, 2005 Author Share Posted October 6, 2005 Well, they got their first death threat today. Two letters came in to a pair of the higher ups. Typed something like "Build The Casino, Senecas Die" Good to see the kooks haven't lost a step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
