Steve Cohen is beginning a multimillion-dollar offensive as a key lawmaker cools to his Citi Field gaming proposal.
Steve Cohen needs a state bill handing over city parkland, for which the parking lot surrounding Citi Field qualifies. | paul.hadsall via flickrNEW YORK — The owner of the New York Mets wants to expand his footprint in the Empire State with a casino at Citi Field. A left-flank lawmaker is standing in his way.
“We deserve better than 50 acres of asphalt!” reads an online petition, which describes the proposal from Cohen and Hard Rock Entertainment as “a vision to transform the asphalt parking lots around Citi Field into a revolutionary sports and entertainment park.” Cohen needs a state bill handing over city parkland, for which the parking lot surrounding Citi Field qualifies. And legislative bodies in New York typically defer on land use decisions to the member who represents the area in question — which makes Ramos so vital.
Rickett added about the project: “The more people learn about Metropolitan Park, the more they support it, which is why we will continue to communicate our shared vision and the economic impact it will have on our neighbors.”
