    "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."
