During a recent public hearing hosted by Community Board 10, over 100 Bronx residents expressed opposition to Bally's proposed casino project at Ferry Point Park. Attendees raised issues including crime, public safety, and traffic congestion that the development of the extensive 3.1 million-square-foot complex could exacerbate. Bally's Senior Vice President Christopher Jewett presented the project's features, including gaming facilities, a hotel, and jobs creation, arguing for its community benefits. However, some residents dismissed these claims, questioning the validity of the support statistics provided.
The proposed Bally's Bronx casino project plans to develop a 3.1 million-square-foot complex in Throggs Neck, but many residents oppose it due to concerns about safety and parkland loss.
Christopher Jewett emphasized the economic benefits of the casino project, stating it would create 4,000 permanent jobs, improve local parkland, and establish a privately funded police station.
