Overview
- The Gaming Facility Location Board is visiting the remaining contenders in New York City, hearing onsite presentations from Bally’s in the Bronx, Resorts World in Queens and Metropolitan Park in Queens.
- The board plans to announce up to three recommendations on Dec. 1, with any selections requiring ratification by the state Gaming Commission by year’s end.
- Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Nancy Bannon temporarily barred the city from entering new agreements for Citi Field parking following a USTA lawsuit.
- The USTA says a lease “superiority clause” protects the National Tennis Center’s first access to parking during the U.S. Open and states it does not oppose casino development but seeks event safeguards.
- Metropolitan Park’s June filing pledged a binding parking-control agreement by Nov. 17 and a signed deal by Dec. 31, a timeline now impeded by the court’s order.
