(AP) -- Developers who hope to build a $750 million casino resort on the site of an old Catskills hotel say the project would create thousands of jobs.
Kansas City, Mo.-based EPR Properties and the operators of the Monticello Casino and Raceway on Thursday are unveiling details of their plans for the site of the old Concord Hotel, which is in Sullivan County about 90 miles northwest of New York City.
They will be among the applicants for one of four casino licenses state regulators will grant this year in upstate New York. Voters in November passed a state constitutional amendment allowing the expansion of Las Vegas-style casinos beyond Indian-owned land.
Developers claim that the resort will employ 2,200 full- and part-time workers. They'll call the hotel Adelaar, which is the Dutch word for eagle.
