New York City Council rejects Bally’s Bronx casino rezoning
The New York City Council rejected Bally’s rezoning application for a proposed Bronx casino on 14 July, reportedly, voting 29-9 with four members absent. Mayor Eric Adams has five days to veto the rejection, which would send the proposal to the Community Advisory Committee stage. Bally’s is one of eight candidates seeking three downstate New York casino licences.
The council’s rejection and possible mayoral veto determine whether Bally’s Bronx proposal advances to the advisory stage.
