In addition to the new conference center, plans call for the construction of a new luxury hotel called The Crescent, a new high-end seafood restaurant, a new medical center for employees and guests, a new parking garage that will double the number of existing indoor parking spaces and a major renovation of the resorts current hotel and lodge. Turning Stone is calling the 77,000-square-foot expansion project “The Evolution.” It will be such a beautiful facility and convention center,” said Oneida Nation Enterprises CEO Ray Halbritter. “We’re going to create a convention center that will attract conventions and conventioneers from across the country so it’s not just the state or this region. When completed, this project will nearly double the size of Turning Stone’s convention and conference space and create the largest conference and convention center in New York State. Turning Stone Resort Casino is growing bigger and better.Ī major announcement from the Oneida Nation Friday promises a $370 million expansion that will include a new hotel, indoor parking garage, health center and much more.
