For the past few decades, Sullivan County's economy has been in a serious slump. Almost all of the resorts that were popular in the 1960's are closed up. There is virtually no industry to speak of and anyone with a good job commutes out of the county. The only chance for this poverty-stricken area is if casino gambling operated by Native American tribes wins state and federal government approval in 2007 and reignites the tourism industry. Sites being considered for casinos include Monticello Raceway as well as some of the former Borscht Belt hotels.
