Mayor Eric Adams took the rare step of vetoing the recent City Council decision Wednesday to disapprove the gaming company Bally’s land use application for a $4 billion casino-hotel complex in Ferry Point Park. This marks the first land use veto of Adams’ tenure, according to a City Council spokesperson. Bally’s Chair Soo Kim did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The disapproval vote, led by East Bronx Republican City Council Member Kristy Marmorato, was held on July 14 by a vote of 28 to 9, with several of the 51 members absent or abstaining.
