These facilities will make Turning Stone the 'largest convention center' in Upstate New York and one of just three venues of the same size and caliber in the state, says the Oneida Nation. The planned features include eight new meeting rooms, several of which will offer inviting outdoor patios, and two new ballrooms, including a 30,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom with a terrace overlooking the Shenendoah Golf Course and The Lodge’s Great Lawn.Īdditionally, an outdoor courtyard with three new event spaces and a new indoor parking garage with 2,000 spaces, providing easy access to the conference center, will also enhance the resort's amenities. The Nation has partnered with architecture and design firm Gensler for the project and will break ground on the project 'early next year.'Ĭentral to the Turning Stone Evolution is the doubling of the current conference space, introducing new indoor and outdoor event areas. The endeavor is projected to yield a one-time economic impact of $616 million, generate 3,600 one-time jobs, and contribute $22.1 million in state and local tax revenues.
The Oneida Indian Nation has unveiled a $370 million investment plan to transform Turning Stone Resort Casino in Central New York, marking the resort's most extensive expansion to date. Over the course of two years, the project will encompass the creation of a conference center, outdoor event spaces, a new hotel, and more.
