New York governor signs measure advancing Bally’s Bronx casino bid
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation allowing the Bronx site to be used for commercial purposes, advancing Bally’s casino proposal. The company still needs zoning, environmental and community advisory approvals; casino licence applications are due on 27 June, with decisions expected by year-end.
The proposal remains contingent on local, environmental and advisory approvals before Bally’s can secure a downstate casino licence.
