BRONX - It might not be just lottery tickets and scratchies being the only gambling allowed in the Bronx. A casino could soon be coming to the borough right next to Trump’s golf course in Ferry Point Park, the NY Post is reporting. 





Bally’s is in negotiations with the Trump Org to build on 17 acres of the Ferry Point Park site by the Throggs Neck Bridge. The plan would be for Bally’s to use 10 acres for the casino and devoid another 7 for green space, the Post reports. 


The city and the Trump Org own the property. The plan is expected to create 15,000 construction jobs and more than 3,500 permanent high-paying jobs.





“We are incredibly excited at the prospect of bringing Bally’s community centered approach to gaming and entertainment to The Bronx. At Bally’s, we start with the proposition that the leaders in the community know what is best for their community,” the Post quotes at Bally’s spokesperson.


“With that guiding principle in mind, we have been engaged in an ongoing series of conversations with local elected officials, community groups and key civic leaders to hear directly from them about what they would like to see from a potential new project,” the statement said. “Our vision, which includes transforming a former waste disposal site and a high-end golf course into a world class entertainment destination, with a focus on workforce housing and new and improved public green space at the center of the project.” 


The article goes on to state that Bally’s would like to take over the entire property.
