MidHudson News is reporting the video gaming operation originally planned for the Harriman area of Orange County, will now be located at the former Bon-Ton department store space at the Newburgh Mall on Union Avenue in the town of Newburgh. State Senator James Skoufis has been heavily involved in the negotiations with Resorts World Catskills that will allow the company to operate the electronic gaming operation as a supplement to its Kiamesha Lake Las Vegas style casino in Sullivan County. Skoufis said before the mall location can open, it must go through all of the appropriate local approvals.
