A casino in Coney Island has folded, and The Bronx is staying in for another round.
A proposal for a major gambling facility right off the boardwalk in southern Brooklyn did not survive a key committee vote to keep it alive on Monday, while Bally’s proposal to build a casino in The Bronx moved forward. That project now advances to the final phase of the race for up to three lucrative downstate licenses to be awarded by December.
The $4 billion casino plan from Bally’s won near unanimous support from a key local advisory committee, which must sign off on each casino proposal to let them proceed to the state Gaming Facility Location Board for final approval.
