Buffalo, NY – As the legal battle continues over the fate of the Buffalo Creek Casino, the mayor and county executive continue to observe from the side lines.

They are waiting to see if the casino will become the next piece of the economic development puzzle for downtown and the region.
Brown says he wants to see the casino as part of the city's overall growth.
At a news conference last week, County Executive Collins said the casino is a piece of economic development to help drive tourism to other cultural assets.
