Turning Stone Casino In New York State Announces Major ExpansionNew Hotel And Meeting Space Planned |
|
The Oneida Indian Nation announced plans for the most significant expansion and financial reinvestment at Turning Stone Resort Casino in the past two decades.
The multi-year project will nearly double the existing convention and meeting space, the Tribe said. The expansion will also include a new hotel with about 250 rooms.
The Oneida Indian Nation selected Syracuse-based Hayner Hoyt as the general contractor and design firm Gensler as its development partner for the expansion.
Ground-breaking is expected in 2023.
“As we begin our largest reinvestment in two decades, we embark upon a new chapter for our enterprises, ensuring that we remain one of the top event and tourism destinations in New York,” said Ray Halbritter, Oneida Indian Nation Representative and Oneida Nation Enterprises CEO.
“Today, we are experiencing record demand for hosting conferences and other events at Turning Stone that far outpaces our current hotel and convention facilities,” he added. “This project will help us meet this rising need and even greater demand in the future.”
Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente commented: “As one of the largest employers and key contributors for investments that bring millions of visitors to Central New York every year, the Oneida Indian Nation has been a critical driver in the economic development of Oneida County.”
“This latest investment at Turning Stone Resort Casino,” Picente said, “the largest in 20 years, expands on this partnership and, along with the Nexus Center, continues our shared goal for the revitalization of Oneida County. We know that when the Oneida Indian Nation does well, Oneida County does well, and the expansion of Turning Stone will help grow this success.”
The casino opened in the town of Verone on July 20, 1993.
“The partnership [with] the town of Verona has played an important role in our mutual growth and success,” said Verona Town Supervisor Scott Musacchio.
“Recently, this partnership helped provide water and sewer infrastructure for the Oneida Indian Nation’s new employee housing, an innovative approach to increasing affordable housing and growing jobs within our community. Turning Stone’s expansion will continue this partnership, injecting significant investment into our local economy, and further establishing Verona as a world-class destination for tourism, conventions, and more.”
