Member for Queens to support multibillion-dollar casino projects
Rep. Francisco Moya is leaving behind Mets owner Steve Cohen's ambitious $8 billion plan to build a huge casino complex adjacent to City Field in a move that could change the landscape of Queens.
Francisco Moya Approves 'Metropolitan Park' Casino Plan, Praises Benefits For Queens
Moya, which represents the community surrounding Flushing Meadow Park and Willets Point, has voiced enthusiastic support for the project, which is called "Metropolitan Park," highlighting its potential benefits for both Queens and New York City, The New York City Post reported. Moya said he believes the project is in the best interests of both Queens and New York City, referring to the proposed game centers, hotels, and music venues.
The congressman's support marks a significant development in Cohen's efforts, which hinges on legislative approval to repurpose land around Citi Field, which is now designated as a park.
However, not all politicians agree with Moya's position. Senator Jessica Ramos, another key figure who has significant support for the project's progress, remains unsure. Ramos, who is critical of Cohen's team's lobbying strategy, has refrained from supporting the plan.
Moya, known for his enthusiastic support of development projects, hailed the casino-entertainment complex as an "economic engine" that will attract year-round visitors, enhancing the fan experience for sports enthusiasts visiting City Field and USTA Tennis Center, as well as supporters of New York City Football Club.
Cohen's Casino Project Gets Advantage Amid Regulatory Delays and Political Support
Despite the uncertainty surrounding regulatory approval, industry insiders suggest awarding a new casino license in the New York City area by the end of 2025 could work in Cohen's favor, giving him more time to bolster support in Albany. Cohen is known for his friendly relationship with Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul, further strengthening his position in the high-stakes casino race.
Cohen's project is just one of several ambitious proposals to compete for part of New York City's lucrative casino market. The competing ventures include proposals from related companies, such as Win, SL Green, Caesars, Roc Nation, and Thor Equities, which aim to establish their foothold in strategic locations across the city.
As the debate over the future of Queens' landscape intensifies, Moya's support highlights the complex interactions of political, economic, and community interests that shape New York City's urban development trajectory. Whether Cohen's vision for the Metropolitan Park becomes a reality depends on navigating the web of regulatory hurdles and securing elusive political support. 프라그마틱 슬롯 사이트
