The list of people against a proposed Times Square casino is getting longer, with several prominent NYC organizations joining the opposition on Tuesday.
The No Times Square Casino Coalition announced that TDF (formerly the Theatre Development Fund), the National Organization for Women NYC (NOW NYC) and the Council of Chelsea Block Associations are now on board for saying “no” to a proposed casino from Caesars Palace.
Times Square is one of at least nine metro area locations being considered for three downstate casino licenses in the coming years. Caesars, if awarded one of the licenses, would convert an existing office building at 1515 Broadway into a full-service, Vegas-style casino.
