Steve Cohen’s New York Mets are off to a slow start this season – and so is his $8 billion casino project, which is already more than five months behind schedule.
Metropolitan Park, the casino and entertainment complex backed by Cohen and Hard Rock, is running around five and a half months behind schedule before construction has even begun, according to a construction timeline its developers submitted to the New York State Gaming Commission last year.
The project’s backers expected on Jan. 1 to begin testing the foundation of the parking lot that will one day sit beneath the 3.7-million-square-foot development.
