As the effort to bring a casino to the shores of Brooklyn’s Coney Island gained traction this week with three organizations joining Thor Equities’ bid to nab one of only three casino licenses Albany will issue for the downstate area, local electeds had mixed reactions to the proposal.
Thor Equities’ chief executive Joe Sitt, who’s a major property owner in the beachfront community, announced Tuesday that he’s partnering with Saratoga Casino Holdings, the Chickasaw Nation and Legends on a “comprehensive casino, hotel, and entertainment proposal” for the People’s Playground.
