The Turning Stone Resort Casino, located in Central New York, will undergo a $370 million makeover according to an ambitious investment plan unveiled by the Oneida Indian Nation. The goal of this project, the largest expansion in the resort’s history, is to rejuvenate the area and strengthen its position as a regional economic powerhouse. Turning Stone Evolution will involve the construction of a cutting-edge conference center, outdoor event areas, a Four-Diamond hotel, and other upmarket facilities over the course of two years.
Boosting Regional Economy and Tourism
It is anticipated that the Turning Stone Evolution project will have significant economic effects on the area. 3,600 one-time employment are anticipated to be created by the project, and it will also bring in $22.1 million in state and local taxes. Additionally, the investment is expected to have a whopping $616 million in one-time economic benefit, acting as a major driver of regional prosperity.
Enhancing Conference and Event Facilities
The development of conference facilities, which practically doubles the amount of space now available, is a key component of the Turning Stone Evolution. The resort will become Upstate New York’s largest conference center as a result of being able to host bigger, more renowned events. Eight new conference rooms, several with charming outside patios, and two roomy ballrooms are notable additions. One of these is the magnificent 30,000 square foot Grand Ballroom, which has a terrace with views of The Lodge’s Great Lawn and the Shenendoah Golf Course. The resort’s marketing reach in the Mid-Atlantic and New England areas will surely increase as a result of this change, bringing in additional event planners.
Introducing The Crescent – A Luxurious Four-Diamond Hotel
Turning Stone will debut The Crescent, an opulent Four-Diamond hotel with 258 rooms, including classy one- and two-bedroom suites, to meet the demand for conference and event attendees. A inviting fireplace, a quick-service cafe, and a VIP lounge can be found in the hotel. The resort’s dedication to provide the best dining experiences will be demonstrated with the opening of the new Salt Seafood & Raw Bar, which will include five private dining rooms with terraces.
Modern Updates and Sustainability Efforts
Along with these exciting new initiatives, modifications will be made to the resort’s current lodging to uphold The Lodge’s Forbes Four Star award-winning standards. The Hotel will get major contemporary improvements and be renamed as The Brook to highlight the area’s lovely waterways. With the construction of approximately 120 electric car chargers, including 36 Tesla Superchargers, across Nation lands in collaboration with Tesla, Turning Stone’s dedication to sustainability will be further highlighted.
