'We don't know until it's up and running,' Hayssen explained. He says the Oneidas will have an advantage with an indoor mall next to a casino. Hayssen says although Turning Stone and Waterloo are 70 miles apart, shoppers coming to the area to spend their money will now have a choice - turn east or west off I-81. I don't want to be a doomsday predictor, but I don't know.' I don't know, I hate to think what could happen. Every dollar of sales tax revenue we lose, it'll hurt us because we're just a small county. 'All the taxes there will stay in the Oneida Indian Nation property, in their nation,' Hayssen said. He says not only could the development pull shoppers from Waterloo, tax revenue generated at the Turning Stone's outlets would not help Oneida County taxpayers. Seneca County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bob Hayssen says the planned shopping center could hurt Waterloo Premium Outlets, which is a big source of sales tax revenue for the county.
The news of the Oneida Indian Nation's plan to build a premium outlet mall at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona is ruffling the feathers of some officials.
