NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. (AP) - Officials in an Orange County town in the running for a casino have approved a resolution supporting a local gambling resort.
The New Windsor Town Board on Wednesday approved by a 5-0 vote a resolution backing a local casino.
Alabama-based Greenetrack wants to build a casino on 140 acres at Stewart International Airport, and a resolution in support from the local town is required. The site is a 65-mile drive north from Manhattan.
A state siting board this fall will choose sites for four casino resorts in upstate New York, with two possible in the Hudson Valley and the Catskills. There will be up to 22 casino applicants.
