More than 100 people crowded into the auditorium... to debate the Metropolitan Park proposal, a planned development by New York Mets owner Steve Cohen and Hard Rock Entertainment that would convert a 50-acre parking lot west of Citi Field into an entertainment complex with a casino as its centerpiece.
CB 3 became the fifth and final relevant community board to vote in favor of the proposal on Thursday night, voting 26-8 in favor of the amendment with three abstentions. CBs 6, 7, 8 and 9 already voted overwhelmingly in favor of the amendments.
The proposal will next go to Queens Borough President Donovan Richards for an advisory review on Dec. 5 before going to the City Planning Commission, City Council and Mayor's office as part of the ULURP process.
