New York City Council approves Coney Island casino rezoning 36-11

Licences & markets

The New York City Council approved a rezoning proposal for the Coney Island casino project by a 36-11 vote, with four members abstaining. The measure allows the developers to demap part of Bowery Street and acquire air rights for the planned towers and pedestrian bridges; the project is among eight competing for up to three New York casino licences.

The rezoning advances the Coney Island project in the competition for New York casino licences but does not itself award a licence.
