Nevele officials celebrated the sendoff of their nearly 12,000 page gaming license application Tuesday afternoon in Ellenville. The celebration which included a band and barbeque brought out some 150 supporters. Part of the application process is being able to demonstrate community support for the project. The Nevele is unique in having unanimous support from elected officials in Ulster County, the Town of Wawarsing, and Village of Ellenville. Ulster County Executive Michael Hein, Town of Wawarsing Supervisor Leonard Distel, and Village Mayor Jeffrey Kaplan spoke in support of the Nevele project.
