“This project is an extraordinary opportunity for contractors
and vendors throughout the Hudson Valley,” said Charles Degliomini,
Executive Vice President for Empire Resorts. “Montreign is a
project of regional significance and this is a key time for local
companies to connect with us so they can benefit from this
opportunity.”
The New York State Gaming Commission, which regulates all
aspects of gaming and gambling activity, will present licensing
requirements for contractors and vendors who would like to do
business with casinos. Empire State Development will explain Gov.
Cuomo’s commitment to ensuring significant Minority, Women and
Veteran-owned Business Enterprise (MWVBE) participation in capital
projects such as Montreign.
Montreign will be an 18-story casino, hotel and entertainment
complex featuring a 90,000-square-foot casino, 332 hotel rooms, and
multiple dining and entertainment options. It will be built in the
Town of Thompson, Sullivan County, and is a construction project
for which there is a Project Labor Agreement.
“Success on every level for the people of Sullivan County has
been the goal of the Sullivan County Legislature since the very
beginning of our quest for full-scale casino gaming with the
enactment of the legislation almost three years ago,” said Scott B.
Samuelson, Chairman, Sullivan County Legislature. “This
informational session is just one more tool for people and
businesses in our community to gain understanding of the
requirements in order to ultimately participate in this
extraordinary process. I urge anyone that is seeking information to
attend this most important and informative session.”
“The Montreign Resort Casino project has created a buzz in
Sullivan County and it has definitely extended to Orange County,”
Orange County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus said. “Montreign will
create a variety of jobs for Orange County residents and generate
tourism revenue. The information session will serve as a great way
to reach out to contractors and vendors interested in being a part
of the project. I expect it to be productive and I look forward to
watching Montreign’s plan develop in the coming months. I know it
will be a success.”
