An anti-casino rally drew nearly a thousand protesters, who gathered in front of the Queens Public Library, in Flushing, on Nov. 16 demanding state Sen. John Liu and Gov. Kathy Hochul withdraw their support of a proposed casino development next to Citi Field.
The casino proposal is part of the Metropolitan Park project aimed at transforming 50 acres of Citi Field parking lot into an entertainment complex that would feature not only the casino but shops, restaurants and a public park. Additional details were reported on by QNS last month.
