Bally’s has officially bought the land where it plans to build a Bronx casino after being one of three gambling projects approved by New York State in December.
The casino operator bought the parkland that was formerly leased to President Donald Trump as a golf course for $156.6 million from the New York City government, according to a deed filed in property records on Friday.
Craig Eaton, president of Rhode Island operations and corporate secretary at Bally’s, signed the deal for the buyer, while Julia Kerson, deputy mayor for operations for the New York City government, signed for the seller, records show.
