New York judge blocks city casino agreement pending USTA lease review
New York Supreme Court Justice Nancy M. Bannon issued a temporary restraining order on 14 November, preventing New York City from signing an agreement with Queens Future for the Metropolitan Park casino project. The order remains in place until the city establishes that the agreement complies with the USTA’s lease rights; a preliminary injunction hearing is scheduled for 11 December.
The temporary order blocks the city’s agreement until compliance with USTA lease rights is established, potentially delaying the casino project.
