Sixteen companies submitted applications to the New York Gaming Facility Location Board yesterday, the application deadline. Five applications were submitted for the Capital Region, eight for the Catskills/ Hudson Valley Region and three for the Southern Tier. Each region will get a casino, and one region will get two. Oral presentations of applications will begin on or after July 21, 2014. Applicants must then hold a public hearing in their host municipality. The gaming facility operators are expected to be selected by early fall. ![](https://jdsupra-html-images.s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/68bbbdbd-e098-4686-9306-5c6c39716df7-new_york_gaming_facility_w640.png)
