The Metropolitan Park project, backed by Mets owner Steve Cohen and Hard Rock Entertainment, is a proposed $8 billion development at Citi Field in Queens. This entertainment complex, recently approved by the New York City Council, aims to include a casino, hotel, restaurants, and green space. The project promises to create around 23,000 jobs while enhancing the area with recreational facilities. Despite its current support, it still requires state licensing and community reviews before advancing further.
