Statement on State Gaming Facility Location Board Recommendations for Downstate Casino Licenses

Our statement from Carlo A. Scissura, Esq., President and CEO of the New York Building Congress on the recommendations for three downstate casino licenses:

"The New York Building Congress congratulates Bally's Bronx, Queens Future - Hard Rock Metropolitan Park, and Resorts World New York City on being recommended for approval by the New York Gaming Facility Location Board. These casino developments represent major, once-in-a-generation investments in New York's future, creating thousands of good-paying, union jobs, generating billions in economic activity, and delivering new revenue streams that will support essential public services across our city and state.

Each of the winning proposals has demonstrated a strong commitment to building world-class facilities, strengthening surrounding communities, and driving long-term economic development. Today's recommendations mark a milestone more than a decade in the making, and we commend the state for its careful review and commitment to a fair and transparent process.

We are excited to see our members help bring these transformative projects to life if approved by the Gaming Commission later this month. Congratulations to the winning teams - we look forward to working together to build a stronger, more vibrant, and more prosperous New York!"
