Queens casino backers push for support of senator

Many Queens residents, civic leaders, and business owners flocked to the state senator's office to urge him or her to support the senator's plans for a new casino in the borough.

The owner of the New York Mets is proposing an $8 billion plan for Metropolitan Park, which includes the gaming venue. He has teamed up with Hard Rock International in an attempt to win one of the three downstate casino licenses that state authorities anticipate awarding in late 2025 or early 2026.
