Buffalo Casino Receives Doubts From City Council

In Buffalo, New York, plans to build a casino may not manifest if nothing more is done to prove how the construction of a casino in downtown Buffalo will benefit the city's economy.  The Seneca Nation is ready and more than willing to put up the proposed casino, which the tribe feels will create long-term jobs and bring more money into the economy.  There are some skeptics however, who feel that the casino will only create construction jobs in the very beginning, and will only end up costing the economy more in the long run.

City Council members recently started debating the issue again after starting back up from their summer break.  It seems the main concerns coming from the council are that a downtown casino would not generate the revenue as some say it will.  Buffalo is no Las Vegas, and many feel that the introduction of a casino would not draw the attention it would need to bolster the economy.  Some local business tycoons also voiced their concerns that a casino would actually have a negative impact on the city of Buffalo.

Other concerns include a fear that the Seneca Nation would seek to buy further downtown property to expand its casino - as so many gambling companies based in Las Vegas do to this day.  And as far as the local economy goes, smaller businesses have been an increasing object of debate.  The concern for them is that they would suffer the most from a casino that would draw business away, and slowly deplete the buying power from local consumers.  Whatever the Council decides in Buffalo, one thing is clear - the debate on whether to allow a downtown casino to go up is not a philosophical one. It is a monetary one.
