SOUTHAMPTON, NY After a fight for economic parity that has spanned decades, the Shinnecock Indian Nation outlined its plans Wednesday for a casino on the tribe s land in Southampton.
The project, called Shinnecock Casino Hamptons, has been a long-held dream, members of the tribe said. We ve been at this for 20 years, said Shinnecock Tribal Chairman Bryan Polite.
Construction is slated to begin in the summer for the 76,000 square foot Class II facility, which will feature 1,000 video lottery terminals and 30 Texas hold em table games, Polite said. The goal is to open about 18 to 24 months after work begins; the casino will bring 300 to 400 jobs to the area, with about 40 percent filled by members of the Shinnecock Indian Nation and the rest, for others on the East End, Polite said.
Steele Creek has overflowed its banks at the bridge multiple times.
In January of 2018, an ice jam caused the water from the creek to spill over and send water and ice chunks into nearby backyards and down village streets, although that incident caused no major damage. That was not always the case. In the June 2013 flood, the bridge itself was damaged when the head wall was blown out into the road. It was later repaired.
DOT will have to obtain right-of-way from the owners of six properties along Otsego Street, most to provide access as needed to replace the Route 51 bridge, according to Jim Piccola, public information officer for DOT.

With schools on vacation, it’s likely that there will be less traffic up and down main roads, making it a little easier for city workers to clean up heavy snow-fall Tuesday morning.
