The Coney Island casino proposal, named 'The Coney', is under scrutiny as the City Council's Subcommittee on Zoning and Franchises prepares for a hearing next week. Originally approved by the city Planning Commission, the plan has garnered significant resistance from Community Board 13 and local residents, who argue it would disrupt the neighborhood. While some residents acknowledge potential economic benefits, concerns about the scale of the three-block complex remain prevalent. Residents are encouraged to voice their opinions during the City Council meeting scheduled for June 12.
The contentious plan for 'The Coney' casino, though pushed by developers, faces stiff opposition from local residents and community boards citing concerns over neighborhood impact.
Councilmember Justin Brannan, amidst financial ties to the casino supporters, is confronted with a difficult balancing act at the upcoming City Council hearing.
