Bronx electeds express disappointment with Bally’s vote

Bronx electeds are reacting with frustration to Monday’s City Council vote that appears to have taken Bally’s out of the running for a New York City-area casino license.

While the state is responsible for selecting the three awardees near the end of 2025, several Bronx officials say that the council’s decision prematurely kills the project — and the economic benefits and jobs that would have accompanied it.
