New York City Mayor Eric Adams vetoed the City Council’s rejection of Bally’s land-use application for a proposed casino resort in the Bronx. The council had voted 29-9 against rezoning part of Ferry Point Park; Adams said the Bronx should have the same opportunity as boroughs where other casino proposals were approved.
The veto restores a municipal land-use proposal required for Bally’s planned Bronx casino to proceed.
