Following the vote that rejected plans for a $3 million casino in Coney Island, the area’s amusement district and businesses responded to the decision.
The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) voted a 4–2 vote against the proposal Sept. 29.
Luna Park, which is managed by Alessandro Zamperla, president and CEO of Central Amusement International Inc., was excited that the bid by Thor Equities officially fell through.
“We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who made their voices heard,” the park posted on its Facebook page. “Whether you showed up at meetings, shared your thoughts, or simply stood with the community, this win belongs to you.”
