A Coney Island Casino is one step closer to becoming a reality.
According to News 12 Long Island, the New York City Planning Commission approved a plan for a large casino and entertainment complex in Coney Island.
This decision is a big step in one of the city’s most debated development projects. It’s also a bit surprising since the Land Use Committee recently rejected the request to build a new road for the Coney Island casino.
The developers of the project, known as The Coney, want to build a 1.3 million-square-foot complex that would include a casino, hotel, convention center and retail space.
