Bally’s is running out of time to take over Trump Links in the Bronx in order to bid for a prized casino license at the site, The Post has learned.
While Bally’s has reached a deal with the Trump Organization to take over the public golf course next to the Whitestone Bridge, it can’t get the New York City Parks Department to move fast enough to approve the license transfer, sources said. A Trump Links license transfer will require a roughly 40-day New York City approval process.
Casino bids will be due in about six weeks, sources said.
The Trump Organization has the license for the next 12 years and has agreed to transfer 17 acres at the site and the license to Bally’s.
