FOLLOWING INTERNAL REVIEW, MICHAEL TREANOR RESUMES ROLE AS CEO OF NEVELE
Ellenville/Wawarsing, NY (May 22, 2014) Claremont Partners Director David Runciman today announced that Michael Treanor has been asked to resume his role as CEO of the Nevele. Treanor, who stepped aside following recent media reports concerning a long-ago resolved private family matter, will resume day-to-day operations of the entity that is seeking a gaming license for the Nevele. The announcement comes at the completion of an internal review of the matter.
Its old news. Nonetheless, we thought it prudent to ask Michael to step aside while the facts were re- examined, said Mr. Runciman. Having completed a review, we have concluded, as have regulators in the past, that Michaels character and fitness are unimpeachable, and that certain recent articles were part of a smear campaign targeting Ulster Countys Nevele project. Michael has been a tireless advocate for Ellenville and we have asked him to continue in his role.
