Bronx and Coney Island Casino Proposals Head to Advisory Votes

Casino proposals in the Bronx and Coney Island, Brooklyn, are set to be evaluated by community advisory committees, which will determine whether these plans can progress. The Ferry Point casino in the Bronx will be voted on in the morning on Monday, followed by a vote on The Coney in Brooklyn in the afternoon.

Initial indications suggest that a majority of committee members are likely to reject the Coney Island proposal. This development follows the earlier rejection of three casino proposals in Manhattan earlier this month.

Upcoming Votes and Previous Approvals

The Metropolitan Park at Citi Field, led by Mets owner Steve Cohen, will face its vote on Tuesday morning. This proposal is among several vying for a chance to operate in New York. In contrast, two other casino sites, at Yonkers Raceway and Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, have already received unanimous community advisory committee approval, allowing them to move forward to the New York State Gaming Commission.

The commission is expected to award three casino licenses in December 2023, making this an important time for both the proposed projects and the communities involved. The decision will play a significant role in shaping the future of gaming and entertainment in these neighborhoods.

The outcome of the upcoming votes may have lasting implications for local economies, employment opportunities, and community sentiments regarding gaming in urban areas. As discussions continue, residents and stakeholders remain engaged in the process, awaiting the final decisions from the advisory committees and the state commission.
