Of the more than 40 speakers who testified before the community advisory committee for the Resorts World casino project on Wednesday, every single one spoke in favor of the Queens gaming company’s $5.5 billion proposal to become the largest casino in the United States.
The hearing was the first for the community panel that has been appointed to review Resorts World’s pitch for expansion as the “racino” bids for one of the three downstate casino licenses that are currently up for grabs.
The overwhelmingly positive parade of support lauded Resorts World’s plan for expansion as one of the seven bidders for the downstate licenses, and the company’s work as a community partner.
