1.11.24 - Bally’s officially takes over Trump Links golf course in the Bronx
' FERRY POINT, the Bronx (WABC) -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams unveiled the new "BALLY LINKS" sign at the Ferry Point golf course formerly operated the Trump Organization Thursday morning.
The Trump Organization was the golf course's longtime operator, with its giant "TRUMP LINKS" logo was visible from the Whitestone Bridge nearby.
The sign unveiling took place around 11 a.m., not only marking the change in operators but also the beginning of a new era for the Bronx.
"This day is about so much more than the changing of a sign," said New York City Mayor Eric Adams. "For far too long, this beautiful borough has been sitting on the sideline of the progression of our city. I want to thank Bally's for having the vision, and I'm excited about the opportunities that will come out of this partnership."
The Bally's Golf Links at Ferry Point site is home to an 18-hole, 180-acre golf course and a 20,000 square-foot clubhouse.
Bally's Corporation, a casino company, will now operate the city-owned site, with hopes of acquiring one of three pending casino licenses for downstate. '
