Governor Andrew Cuomo submitted a letter to New York State’s Gaming Commission on Friday to re-open bidding for a ‘true’ Southern Tier Region casino license, which was included in Proposition One which was passed on 2013. Tioga Downs would be a likely spot for a casino, as owners at Traditions in Johnson City have backed out. The gaming commission awarded a “Southern Tier” casino license to Lago in Tyre, about 85 miles north of the Binghamton region.
