New York casino committees can vote on MGM and Metropolitan Park bids by 30 September
Community advisory committees held second public hearings for MGM Empire City in Yonkers and Metropolitan Park in Queens during New York’s casino licensing process. Each committee may hold a binding vote by 30 September; approval requires a two-thirds majority, with four affirmative votes needed for each bid to advance for state consideration.
The committee votes will determine whether the two proposals remain eligible for consideration for one of three New York casino licences.
