County Legislature Backs Syracuse Racino

Published: November 21, 2011 03:39 pm EST

According to a report, on Thursday, November 17, after a public hearing in regard to the possibility of a racino coming to Cicero, New York, just north of Syracuse, Onondaga County Legislature Chairman James Rhinehart said he will support the proposal to the legislature in December

.

An article on syracuse.com has cited Reinhart as saying that the Legislature’s support would be contingent on developer Tom Wilmot building a 350-room Westin Hotel next to the county’s convention centre in downtown Syracuse.

“If there’s no hotel, there will be no racino,” Reinhart was quoted as saying.
