The New York State Gaming Commission says it has not yet received a request from Albany businessman Jeffrey Hyman for an extension of the deadline for filing an application for a casino license.

Hyman and Binghamton Mayor Richard David have said they would like to get more time to get clarification about the Department of Environmental Conservation’s rules for funding clean-up of the former Stow Manufacturing Site.

Hyman had said the DEC revised some Brownfield maps that would put his proposed development out of the area for tax incentives. But DEC officials said any revisions had no impact on the Stow Manufacturing site on the North Side of Binghamton.

Broome County Executive Debra Preston issued another statement July 6 and says she now understands there was confusion about the DEC rules and wish there was more time to get the problems worked out. Shortly after word came out over the weekend that Hyman told the Gaming Commission he would not be submitting a Binghamton application, Preston issued a statement saying the state “let us down” and demanding answers.

Tioga Downs, for now, is the only developer that submitted a license application by yesterday’s deadline.

There is still no guarantee that there will be any license for the Southern Tier. The Gaming Commission is expected to decide by September if submitted applications have impressed them sufficiently.
