ResortsWorld New York today launched its new website, www.RWNewYork.com. The site will serve to notify prospective employees about work opportunities, local businesses about the contracting process and future casino guests with information about the facility.
“We are very excited about our new web presence,” said Mike Speller, President of Genting New York. “With the more than 2,200 jobs that Resorts World New York will generate, this site will make it easier for Queens residents to access information about our hiring process and learn about what work opportunities are available. Once the facility opens in the late Spring, this site will serve as a great resource for patrons who want to plan their exciting visits to our facility.”
Last week, Tutor-Perini, the general contractor for Resorts World New York Casino, hosted its first major Minority, Women, and Locally owned Business Enterprises outreach event. More than 400 contractors and suppliers interested in providing construction services for the Resorts World New York facility attended this event. Future employment event information will now be available on the new site, www.RWNewYork.com.
Last month, Governor David A. Paterson and Genting Chairman K.T. Lim were joined by elected officials, as well as representatives of New York’s gaming and racing operations and South Queens residents to break ground on the Resorts World New York casino -- a project that will put 2,200 New Yorkers to work, generate more than $300 million in annual revenue for the state and give New York City its first ever casino.
