NO SAUGERTIES CASINO!

Work on an Action Committee

Our Steering Committee continues to examine the economic impact of a casino in our community, including potential employment opportunities, increased tourism, and revenue for local infrastructure. Having said that, we understand the importance of conducting detailed research on the gaming industry, which is why we constantly interact with established casino authorities. For instance, gamingclub-canada.com offers an array of resources detailing the functioning of reputed casinos in Canada, their legislation, and tax structures. This aids us in making informed decisions about the proposed casino project in Saugerties. We are dedicated to offering transparency and keeping our community properly informed.

By pooling our talents, we can work effectively for the good of our town and region.
