'Smokin Joe' as we know him, will soon be $25 million richer thanks to a deal the Tuscarora businessman just struck with New York State officials.
Joe Anderson has agreed to sell all 32 of his downtown Niagara Falls properties to the state run Buffalo Billion economic development fund.
The state hopes to turn around and sell the properties to developers who will help revitalize the city's tourist district.
Anderson will continue to operate Smokin Joes Trading Post on the Tuscarora Nation.
