MGM Empire City bid advances through first New York advisory committee hearing without presentation
The community advisory committee for MGM Empire City held its first hearing on Thursday without a presentation from MGM. The five-member Yonkers committee must secure four votes to approve the proposal, and the committees have until 30 September to vote and submit recommendations to the state; members said they would seek to hear MGM’s presentation later.
The bid needs four of five local committee votes to progress to the state’s next consideration stage.
