Opponents of a proposed Coney Island casino gathered this week to make their point clear:
The Playground of the World doesn’t need such a development.
The Coney – a proposed downstate New York casino from the team of Saratoga Holdings, Global Gaming Solutions of the Chickasaw Nation, Legends, and Thor Equities has proposed a $3 billion development plan that would also feature a 500-room hotel and a 2,500-seat concert venue.
Residents in the area convened to voice their opposition of the project, however, with Ronald Stewart leading the town hall meeting: “Those who say this will bring value no this will take value from the people, who gamble their money away.”
