West Side residents are joining forces to oppose a developer’s plans for a zoning change that would make way for a casino on the Western Rail Yards at Hudson Yards.
“We are demanding that our electeds stand with us in this fight, as they did ten years ago in our victory,” said Ambur Nicosia, president of the Penn South Board — a cooperative housing development in Chelsea — on Tuesday morning.
She and other community leaders from Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea braved the cold, blustery weather at a press conference, to stand strong against Related Companies and Wynn Resort’s push for a proposal that overhauls a 2009 plan for the undeveloped western portion of Hudson Yards…that prioritized housing, in favor of a primarily commercial development, with the potential for a gaming facility.
