"We're aggressively looking at development and
expansion options," spokesman Philip Pantano said.
The land was part of a 50-acre section of downtown Niagara Falls promised to
the Senecas under a compact signed by Gov. George Pataki in 2002. The Senecas
opened a casino on New Year's Eve 2002 and a 26-story hotel late last year
with the requirement that the tribe give the state and city a share of slot
machine revenue.
Pantano estimated Seneca Gaming Corp., the tribe's gambling arm, now owns all
but about 10 acres of the 50-acre footprint. The Empire State Development
Corp., the state's economic development agency, is expected to acquire that
land for Seneca Gaming through additional eminent domain proceedings.
Fallsite LLC, owner of the former Fallsville Splash Park, received an advance
payment from the Seneca Gaming Corp. before the state filed its eminent
domain order in Niagara County Court Wednesday, Fallsite partner John Bartolomei
said. He would not disclose the price but said it was based on "the highest
appraisal given."
