A fierce battle is brewing in Queens as community groups are banding together to protest a proposed casino project in Corona. Mets owner Steve Cohen has unveiled plans to develop Metropolitan Park, a 43-acre site near Citi Field, into a massive entertainment complex featuring a casino, restaurants, and other amenities. However, local residents and community leaders are raising concerns about the potential impact on the neighborhood, including increased crime, traffic congestion, and gentrification. As the project moves forward, community groups are demanding that their voices be heard and that the city carefully considers the long-term effects of this development on the Corona community.
