Bally’s New York casino rezoning clears state legislature
Summary
Bally’s has taken a significant step forward in its plans for a casino in the Bronx, New York. The state senate and assembly have approved essential rezoning legislation, and now it only requires the governor’s signature before Bally’s can submit its bid for one of the three downstate casino licences by the upcoming deadline. This moves the proposed $4 billion casino-resort on Bally’s Links golf course closer to reality.
Key Points
