Bally’s cleared a major hurdle to bid on obtaining a gaming license to open a casino next to its golf course at Ferry Point in The Bronx.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed off after the state Legislature passed a measure on June 13 that repurposes property designated as parkland there for use as a casino and other property — a move that came days before a deadline to bid for a license.
“We are very thankful that we will have the opportunity to continue to engage Bronx community, elected and small business leaders to talk about our vision for the largest economic development project in the history of the Bronx,” said Bally’s chairman Soo Kim.
