Community Board 10 voted 29 to 5 against a proposed Bally’s hotel-casino complex on March 20, following a raucous and chaotic public meeting that ended abruptly with expletives from the board chair and the removal of the audience from the room.
The vote concerned a zoning change under Bally’s Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) application to de-map and rezone parkland in Ferry Point Park for a 500-room hotel, 200,000-square-foot casino and 2,000-seat event center. The board’s vote is advisory and marks the first step in a lengthy public review process.
