The casino hearings have started up in H'burg. As of now, they are just getting underway; SugarHouse, the first applicant to testify, just wrapped up their presentation (SugarHouse is the applicant that would locate at Penn Treaty Park, the site of the former Jack Frost Sugar refinery. Plans call for the 16 acre site to first have a temporary, 1,500-machine slot parlor, which would eventually be replaced by a 5,000-machine casino and a hotel tower.)
Next, the Gaming Board will question the SugarHouse team. Daily News editorial page editor Sandra Shea is there (as is Daily News reporter Chris Brennan) and has promised to call in updates over the next several days.
