More than 100 people filled a Bronx high school on Tuesday for Community Board 10’s public hearing to weigh in on Bally’s proposed casino project in Throggs Neck.
Many residents in attendance voiced strong opposition to the Bally’s Bronx casino plan, which would add a 3.1 million-square-foot complex to Ferry Point Park. Bally’s already operates the city-owned golf course on the site, formerly managed by a company associated with President Donald Trump.
The attendees, mostly from the Throggs Neck area, expressed concerns about crime, public safety, traffic congestion, and the potential loss of parkland that would come from the arrival of a casino.
