N.Y. Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law § 1314: License applicant eligibility

§ 1314. License applicant eligibility. 1. Gaming facility licenses

shall only be issued to applicants who are qualified under the criteria

set forth in this article, as determined by the commission.

2. As a condition of filing, each potential license applicant must

demonstrate to the board's satisfaction that local support has been

demonstrated.

3. Within any development region, if the commission is not convinced

that there is an applicant that has met the eligibility criteria or the

board finds that no applicant has provided substantial evidence that its

proposal will provide value to the region in which the gaming facility

is proposed to be located, no gaming facility license shall be awarded

in that region.
