While the prospect of a hotel and casino has some community members concerned, it’s important to recognize that these features are only a fraction of the overall vision. The Mets have described the project as a “shared space” that caters to various community needs. Steve Cohen, the Mets' owner, has expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s time New York got the sports and entertainment park it deserves.” He envisions a space where the community can gather, which indicates a concerted effort towards fostering goodwill and pride among locals.
