The Coney Island casino proposal appeared dead in the water on Monday as two-thirds of the Community Advisory Committee said they would vote against the project.
Council Member Justin Brannan, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton will vote “no” on The Coney, they announced in separate statements on Sept. 22. Marissa Solomon, who was appointed to the CAC by Assembly Member Alec Brook-Krasny, will also vote “no,” she told Brooklyn Paper.
If the four follow through on their statements at the yet-to-be-scheduled final CAC vote, The Coney’s bid will be finished. The project would need four out of six CAC members to vote “yes” to move forward next stage.
