Local dignitaries, Tioga Downs’
personnel and members of the media ceremoniously signed the final steel beam for
the new parking garage before it was lifted into place during a press
conference at Tioga Downs this morning.
Construction on the 3-story, 275-space garage began last
fall as fulfillment of a promise made by Jeff Gural, CEO & Chairman of American Racing & Entertainment (the parent company of
Tioga Downs,) to start construction on the ramp if voters passed Proposition 1 in
the November 5th election allowing the New York State Legislature to
authorize and regulate up to seven casinos in New York. The building
process began soon after that proposition was approved.
Construction of the parking garage, which will connect to
the casino, is Phase One of Tioga Downs’ expansion plans and is expected to be
completed next month.
Tioga Downs Casino is located along the north
side of NY Route 17/ I-86,
two miles west of exit 62 in Nichols, NY.
