Array Construction Services and Blue Water Management, both of Skaneateles, and Casler Masonry in 69传媒 are among the firms that will support the "Turning Stone Evolution," a major expansion and the Oneida Nation's largest investment in the resort in 20 years.聽

This phase of the project is led by two general contractors, The Hayner Hoyt Corporation and TN WARD. It will include the construction of The Grand Expo, a 165,000-square foot conference center, and The Crescent Hotel, which will have 258 rooms and suites.聽

A new 1,500-space parking garage and the Salt Seafood & Raw Bar, a new fine-dining restaurant, will be built.聽

The other firms awarded contracts for the second phase of the Turning Stone Evolution are: Absolute Fire Protection, of Selkirk; Digesare Mechanical, of Schenectady; G.C. Zarnas & Company, of Bethlehem; W&D Smith & Sons Construction, of Whitney Point; Ferraro Pile & Shoring, of Alden; Crosby-Brownlie, of Rochester; Flower City Glass Co., of Rochester; BR Johnson, of East Syracuse; Bruce Electric, of East Syracuse; Butler Fenco Co., of Syracuse; C.J.

Danforth Co., of Syracuse; JPW Structural Contracting, of Syracuse; M&S Fire Protection, of East Syracuse; Mullen Industrial Handling Corp., of East Syracuse; Murnane Building Contractors, of East Syracuse; Atlantic Testing Laboratories, of Utica; Lupini Construction, of Utica.聽

Turning Stone has already added the NY Rec & Social Club and the Sportsplex, which includes 36 golf bays and indoor pickleball courts.聽

The Turning Stone Evolution will generate a one-time economic impact of more than $600 million and over $22 million in state and local tax revenues, according to the Oneida Indian Nation. It will create more than 3,500 construction jobs and hundreds of permanent jobs.聽

The expansion will also increase spending with local vendors. The Oneida Indian Nation said it spent over $142 million with 792 vendors in Madison, Oneida and Onondaga counties in 2023.聽

"As the Turning Stone Evolution continues to transform the resort, it is also transforming our role as an economic engine for upstate New York," said Ray Halbritter, who is the Oneida Indian Nation representative and Turning Stone Enterprises CEO.

Halbritter continued, "Partnerships with our region's businesses have always been essential to our growth and success, and we are thrilled to expand these partnerships as the Evolution creates new opportunities today and for generations to come."聽

The expansion project was announced last year, which was the 30th anniversary of Turning Stone Resort Casino. Construction began earlier this year.聽
