Yonkers Tribune, March 3rd, 2021
THE BRONX, NY and WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY — March 3, 2021 — New Alliance representing more than 20 business, labor and community organizations in Westchester and The Bronx calls on Albany to support MGM Empire City developing into a full-scale casino
On Thursday, March 4th, “A Sure Bet for New York’s Future” Alliance will host a virtual press conference to introduce a cross-section of businesses, labor and community organizations in Westchester and The Bronx who call on the Governor and the Legislature to support a full-scale casino license for MGM Empire City Casino in Yonkers, NY.
If granted a full-scale casino license, complete with retail and mobile sports betting and live dealer table games, Empire City would generate hundreds of million in license fees needed by the state, while speeding up the local community’s economic recovery by creating new jobs and millions in additional annual wages, helping us put New Yorkers back to work in family-sustaining union jobs.
WHEN: Thursday, March 4, 2021, 10:00 – 11:00 am (EDT)
WHERE: Zoom
RSVP – https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XYxrh-QqQfSdwBmTL1N6GQ
