Bally's proposal for a hotel-casino complex in Ferry Point Park advanced with a legislative bill aimed at addressing public parkland alienation. The development needs state approval, as it involves the transfer of around 16 acres of parkland. In return for the land, Bally's has committed to providing replacement parkland and enhancing golf facilities. The project plans include a vast gaming hall, hotel, retail spaces, and significant parking. Community involvement is emphasized through a Committee that will participate in reviewing the proposal, ensuring transparency throughout the process.
The introduction of a bill to allow Bally's to acquire land for a hotel-casino at Ferry Point Park prioritizes community involvement and transparency in the decision-making process.
Senator Nathalia Fernandez emphasized that while the bill does not endorse the casino project, it sets a framework for local participation and thorough evaluation of the proposal.
Bally's plans a significant development, including a 500,000-square-foot gaming hall and a 500-room hotel, contingent upon the community's feedback and approval of land use.
The bill aims to ensure that the local community has a say in the land acquisition process, with a Community Advisory Committee overseeing the project's evolution.
