"The community advisory committees tasked with reviewing the casino proposals have voted on seven of the eight proposals. The final CAC vote is slated for Tuesday at 11 a.m. The CACs have approved three of the projects, which now go to the state's Gaming Facility Location Board for final consideration: MGM Empire City in Yonkers; Queens Aqueduct Casino, operated by Resorts World; Bally's in Throggs Neck."
"A CAC will vote on Steve Cohen's Metropolitan Park on Tuesday morning. The odds seem to be in the proposal's favor: Only one of the elected officials who has an appointee on the CAC, Sen. Jessica Ramos, has been a vocal opponent of the proposal. Borough President Donovan Richards has been supportive. Metropolitan Park would turn 50 acres worth of parking lots next to Citi Field into an $8 billion casino complex."
The community advisory committees have voted on seven of eight casino proposals, with one final CAC vote scheduled for Tuesday at 11 a.m. Three projects received CAC approval and advance to the state's Gaming Facility Location Board: MGM Empire City in Yonkers, Queens Aqueduct Casino operated by Resorts World, and Bally's in Throggs Neck. Four proposals were rejected, including Freedom Plaza, Avenir, Caesar Palace Times Square, and the Coney. A CAC will decide on Steve Cohen's Metropolitan Park, which would convert 50 acres near Citi Field into an $8 billion casino complex with a Hard Rock hotel, a 5,650-person music venue, bars, restaurants, and 25 acres of green space. The state board is expected to award licenses by year-end. Mayor Eric Adams has dropped his reelection bid.
