The Trump Organization will offload its rights to operate a Bronx golf course to a company that is seeking to build a casino in New York City.
by a state judge last year, a ruling that would have allowed the Trump Organization to operate the course through the expiration of its lease in 2035.
News of the Trump Organization’s decision to voluntarily relinquish its operating rights drew cheers from some New York Democrats. In a statement, city Comptroller Brad Lander said he was “delighted that Trump’s name will no longer deface city parkland.”Earlier this year, Bally’s told the New York Times it hadto take over a smaller portion of the property, promising to remove Trump’s name only if they were awarded one of the highly coveted casino licenses.
Under the new deal, Bally’s will take over full operations, management and maintenance of the golf course, removing the Trump Organization from any involvement with the property, according to the comptroller’s spokesperson.“We are supportive of the transfer of the Ferry Point Golf Course to Bally’s, and we are confident they will deliver a high-quality golfing experience to New Yorkers,” Dan Kastanis, a parks department spokesperson, said in a statement.
