From Bullet News Niagara:<\/p>\n
Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati says we have to become more competitive on our side of the river as it could have a negative impact on our casino industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to be prepared, we can\u2019t hope. Hope is not a good strategy. We have to be prepared for the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n
Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor says another casino in Niagara Falls, N.Y., will have an impact on business, but there is such a difference between Niagara Falls on this side of the border than the other side.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are not just a casino. We are about attractions, the wine industry, the (Niagara) Parks Commission and a long list. It will be competitive but we have so much more to offer,\u201d says Craitor. \u201cThere are a lot of people who travel from around the world to come here. We get 14 million visitors who aren\u2019t coming here just to rush to a casino.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
