The Gaming Facility Location Board on Friday will be reviewing the bid documents put together by staff.
It’s also expected to approve the report with detailed findings on all 16 applicants in earlier bidding, which resulted in recommendations for new casinos in the Catskills, Schenectady and the Finger Lakes.
The state’s Gaming Commission is currently conducting background investigations of the three winning bidders’ principals.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked the board and commission in December to consider awarding a fourth license for a Southern Tier site.
