As the deadline for applications approaches, a trio of proposed casino projects may be imperiled by state bureaucracy.
Three casino proposals in Manhattan may be disqualified from the competition for a downstate gaming license because of the state’s Gaming Commission’s failure to initiate required environmental reviews, Crain’s reported. People involved with the bids raised concerns that the clock could run out on them.
The impacted projects — SL Green’s in Times Square, Silverstein Properties’ near Hudson Yards and the Soloviev Group’s near the United Nations — say they are in danger of failing to meet the state’s Sept. 30 deadline for resolving local land-use issues.
