New York advisory committee backs Resorts World Queens casino plan

Licences & markets

New York’s Community Advisory Committee voted 6-0 on 25 September to support the proposed Resorts World expansion in Queens, moving the project closer to a state casino licence. The $5.5 billion plan includes casino games and a 7,000-seat venue; its backers expect it to create 24,000 jobs, while the New York State Gaming Commission will make the final licence decisions.

The committee vote advances a proposed Queens casino, but the project still requires a state licence.
