Flushing Meadows -Corona Park, Queens (WABC) – A brand new sports and entertainment park, which includes a casino, obtained approval from the New York municipal council.
The “Metropolitan Park” project is led by a partnership between the owner of New York, Steve Cohen and Hard Rock International.
The objective is to replace the 50 acres of parking lots around Citi Field with 25 acres of public space.
In the park would include a hard rock hotel, restaurants, bars, a catering room and a casino.
The group is expected to continue a casino license later this year.
Meanwhile, the proposal always faces obstacles to state legislature.
