Former NYC council speaker supports Wynn casino project
The former New York City council speaker, Christine Quinn, supports the Wynn Resorts and Related Company‘s project for a New York City casino.
With a 14-year history on New York City’s council and mayoral run from 2013, Christine Quinn is a prominent public service professional who announced her support for the Wynn Resorts and Related Company’s project for a New York City casino.
The project would include 1,500 housing units, including 324 affordable housing spaces. Moreover, the project will bring 5000 permanent and 35.000 temporary job offerings to the table. A park, school entertainment, and dining areas would also be included in the project.
Quinn made a video where she said:
“I am supporting Related and Wynn New York City’s bid for the Hudson Yards because it is the one that most recognizes that the biggest problem facing this city is that of homeless families with children. I am ready for thousands of jobs for homeless moms working with Wynn New York City.”
As an appreciation for her support, Wynn Casino reposted her video on their website.
Currently, 11 casino projects are competing for three downstate casino licenses with a June 2025 deadline set by the Gaming Commission. The Wynn casino project proposal is one of three in the same area.
Caesars Entertainment is partnered with SL Green and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation for a casino development in the heart of Times Square. Silverstein Properties and Greenwood Gaming/Parx Casino are partnering on a bid for a location west of Times Square.
The regulator promises to award licenses by the end of 2025.
