The upcoming Vendor Information Session complements the Mohegan Momentum Partnership Program for New York City, an economic catalyst that will provide millions of dollars annually in flexible gaming-based rewards and incentivize hotel and gaming venue guests to visit and support participating local, New York City, and Greater New York City area restaurants, retail stores, and businesses. Celebrated by The New York State Restaurant Association, the program will create additional revenue and expand the establishments' customer base.
At the time of the program's announcement, Melissa Fleischut, President and Chief Executive Officer, New York State Restaurant Association, said, "The Mohegan Momentum Partnership Program for New York City is an avant-garde approach to economic development. This program goes beyond traditional incentives and investments, bringing new energy and enthusiasm to the potential of socially responsible development. Local restaurants will have unprecedented exposure to a larger customer base, prosperous partnerships and brand awareness exceeding what many owners would be able to achieve independently. It must serve as an example for future ventures. I applaud Mohegan and the Soloviev Group for their commitment to social responsibility and championing this effort."
