Ferry Point is located near the far-eastern reaches of the Bronx, across the Whitestone Bridge from northern Queens.

In a statement, Bally’s said it has begun an “ongoing series of conversations with local elected officials, community groups and key civic leaders,” soliciting input on the potential project.

“We are incredibly excited at the prospect of bringing Bally’s community centered approach to gaming and entertainment to the Bronx,” Bally’s said in the statement. “At Bally’s, we start with the proposition that the leaders in the community know what is best for their community.”
