Sen. Jessica Ramos Opposes Steve Cohen and Hard Rock's Citi Field Casino Plan in Queens
May 28, 2024, 12:53 PM
State Senator Jessica Ramos has formally announced her opposition to billionaire Steve Cohen's plan to develop a resort and casino at Citi Field in Queens. Ramos, who has been skeptical of the proposal, stated that the plan does not align with the community's goal of building generational wealth. Instead, she has drafted a bill that excludes a casino and proposes a hotel, convention center, and doubling the park space. This opposition is a significant setback for Cohen and Hard Rock's casino plans, as Ramos's support is crucial for passing the necessary parkland alienation bill. Without her backing, the project is likely to be halted, benefiting other developers like Related with competing projects in Willets.
