New York Mets owner hits roadblock in bid to build a casino
The billionaire owner’s bid to build a casino in the parking lot of the Mets’ Citi Field hit a roadblock on Tuesday. New York State Senator Jessica Ramos announced she will not introduce legislation required to advance the project, which is in her district.
In order for Cohen’s $8 billion “Metropolitan Park” project to move forward, he needs Ramos to approve legislation that would allow him to use Citi Field’s parking lots for commercial purposes. “While we respect Senator Ramos’s point of view, the state never intended any one person to have the ability to single-handedly stop or approve a gaming project,” Karl Rickett, a spokesperson for Cohen’s group, said in a statement. “As Metropolitan Park enjoys overwhelming support from elected officials, unions, and the local community we are confident that we have the best project in the best location.”New York Mets vs.
