From WGRZ Channel 2 in Buffalo (includes video):
There’s a new effort to spark tourism in Niagara Falls by building more attractions for visitors.
Leaders say this one differs from others because it seeks to target certain types of development in a specific area, and that funding decisions will be made locally.
$3 million in state funds, gleaned the state’s cut of revenue from the Seneca Niagara Casino, has now been secured to help entrepreneurs build attractions within one mile of the casino, according to NYS Senator Robert Ortt.
