03.19.25 EXCLUSIVE: Bally’s announces $625M in community benefits to accompany proposed casino complex
Bally’s Corporation, which is seeking one of three downstate casino licenses to develop a massive hotel-casino complex in Ferry Point Park, announced what it called an “unprecedented” community benefits package totaling $625 million in jobs and investments for the Bronx.
The Bronx Times received exclusive details of the agreement, which comes just ahead of the Community Board 10 meeting on March 20, where members will vote on approval of the project.
The proposed $4 billion complex — which includes a 500-room hotel, fitness center and spa, 200,000-square-foot casino, 2,000-seat event center, shopping and dining — is the largest private investment in Bronx history, according to Bally’s. But the company says it is committed to more than just the new facility.
