The New York State Assembly has voted overwhelmingly to enable a significant redevelopment project, Metropolitan Park, which will convert the 50 acres of Citi Field's parking lot into a vibrant entertainment complex. This project, estimated at $8 billion, aims to include a casino, a 25-acre public park, restaurants, and improvements to transportation facilities. With a potential job creation of 23,000 and $1 billion in community benefits, Assembly Member Larinda Hooks stresses this as a "once-in-a-generation" opportunity, essential for the Queens community as it advances through necessary legislative approvals.
