Schenectady is becoming in 2016:
There is a video presentation on the official website: RIVERS CASINO & RESORT at Mohawk Harbor. The tag line is "Schenectady is ready." All is well said, however, to be ready for a successful run for the long term, the master planning and architectural design needs to be much more inspiring and transcendent than its current condition. Can we make the huge surface parking lot disappear under a public park? Is there any way to install a sense of coherence to the site layout? What is the focus of the whole development, is it the residential quarter surrounding a marina or the boxy casino? Besides slot machines and table games, what else can a family enjoy over there? For people coming by train, how to provide a pleasant experience of trip from the train station to the casino facility? How does the Stockade historical district benefit from as well as complement the new development? An upcoming casino is more like an agent of change than a final solution. Schenectady has to seize the opportunity to advance other aspects that make a great city attractive to both business and people. The desert creates a mirage for Las Vegas. The Niagara Falls lends a natural wonder. What makes Rivers Casino & Resort at Mohawk Harbor standing out and offering lasting allure? That is a question.
