The bidding war for a NYC metro area casino license is heating up as the Hudson Yards West project received a green light from the City Planning Commission (CPC) on Wednesday, moving it one step closer to an approved reality.
Related Companies/Oxford Properties Group and Wynn Resorts, the developers and gaming gurus behind the project, said the commission “overwhelmingly voted” to support modifications required to revitalize the existing Western Railyards with a gaming resort, housing and green park space.
In its vote, the CPC approved modifying the application for zoning changes at the Western Rail Yards site, between 11th and 12th Avenues and 30th and 33rd Streets near the High Line, a public park.
