It took New York lawmakers more than a decade to finally approve legislation that resulted in a slots facility opening at Aqueduct racetrack. But, it won’t take them that long to license casinos approved by the state’s voters last November.
At least, not if Gov. Andrew Cuomo has anything to say about it.
Last week, Cuomo said he wanted the new casino operators to be selected by this fall. He plans to have the gaming board in place this month. Then, he said, he expects license applications to be accepted in March.
Bids for the licenses should he submitted by June, he said.
If that timetable is followed, Cuomo indicated, casino construction could begin this year.
