Paterson leads groundbreaking ceremony for long-awaited Aqueduct casino
November 1, 2010 - YourNabe.comby Connor Adams Sheets
The “racino” project at Aqueduct Racetrack in Ozone Park ceremonially broke ground after nine years of false starts and planning Thursday morning, attracting a slew of local leaders and union construction workers.
Actual construction work will begin on the project in about 30 days, but Gov. David Paterson led a group of stakeholders in the project in a ceremonial demolition, during which participants each broke a slab of rock with rubber hammers.
“With today’s groundbreaking, New York continues its confident march out of recession and back to prosperity and job growth,” Paterson said.
