紐約大都會老闆史蒂夫科恩提交了毗鄰花旗球場的賭場綜合體計劃

根據提交的意見，科恩和合作夥伴硬石國際發布了大都會公園開發項目的效果圖，其中包括音樂場所、公共公園空間、酒店塔樓等。

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen has formally submitted his plan for a casino complex adjacent to Citi Field to the New York City Planning Commission on Monday, taking one of the first official steps in his effort to win one of three downstate New York casino licenses next year.

紐約大都會隊老闆史蒂夫·科恩週一正式向紐約市規劃委員會提交了他在花旗球場附近建造賭場綜合體的計劃，這是他努力贏得紐約州下州三個賭場許可證之一的第一步驟正式步驟之一年。

In concert with that submission, Cohen and partner Hard Rock International have released renderings of the Metropolitan Park development, which would include a music venue, public park space, hotel towers, and more.

根據提交的意見，科恩和合作夥伴硬石國際發布了大都會公園開發項目的效果圖，其中包括音樂場所、公共公園空間、酒店塔樓等。

The submission was made to begin the city's Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), a necessary step to get the city to approve zoning changes that would allow for the development of the 50-acre site.

該提交是為了啟動該市的統一土地使用審查程序 (ULURP)，這是讓該市批准分區變更以允許開發 50 英畝場地的必要步驟。

The ULURP process will include reviews by the Planning Commission, along with the City Council, local community boards, and the Queens borough president, among others. However, even if all those officials and groups sign off on the project, that still wouldn't be enough to move forward without state action.

ULURP 流程將包括規劃委員會、市議會、當地社區委員會和皇后區主席等的審查。然而，即使所有這些官員和團體都簽署了該項目，如果沒有國家行動，這仍然不足以推進該項目。

Because the land that Cohen wishes to use is designated as parkland, the state legislature must pass a parkland alienation bill. Traditionally, these bills are only introduced by the legislators who represent the areas under consideration, and State Senator Jessica Ramos (D-Queens) has said she will not do so in the New York Senate.

由於科恩希望使用的土地被指定為公園用地，因此州立法機關必須通過公園用地轉讓法案。傳統上，這些法案僅由代表所考慮領域的立法者提出，州參議員傑西卡·拉莫斯（D-Queens）表示，她不會在紐約參議院這樣做。

However, Metropolitan Park officials say that there are ways around Ramos' approval.

然而，大都會公園官員表示，有一些方法可以繞過拉莫斯的批准。

"The state never intended any one person to have the ability to singlehandedly stop or approve a project," Metropolitan Park spokesperson Karl Rickett said in a statement sent to the Queens Eagle.

大都會公園發言人卡爾·里基特（Karl Rickett）在發給女王之鷹的聲明中表示：“國家從未想讓任何人有能力單槍匹馬地阻止或批准一個項目。”

"We have plenty of time and other avenues to get this done and feel confident given the overwhelming support from elected officials, unions, and the local community, that we have the best overall project."

“我們有充足的時間和其他途徑來完成這項工作，並且鑑於民選官員、工會和當地社區的壓倒性支持，我們有信心我們擁有最好的整體項目。”

One possibility could be finding another state senator to introduce the parkland alienation bill, though that - and subsequently getting the bill passed - might be challenging given the longstanding precedent against such moves in the state legislature.

一種可能性可能是找到另一位州參議員提出公園用地轉讓法案，儘管考慮到州立法機構長期以來反對此類舉措的先例，這一點以及隨後該法案的通過可能具有挑戰性。

Cohen's application, which includes a 243-page scope of work, outlines the entirety of the Metropolitan Park development. That includes a $163 million community impact fund, as well as significant public space, including athletic fields, a playground, bike paths, and upgrades to the nearby Willets Point subway station.

科恩的申請包括 243 頁的工作範圍，概述了大都會公園開發的全部內容。其中包括 1.63 億美元的社區影響基金，以及重要的公共空間，包括運動場、遊樂場、自行車道以及附近 Willets Point 地鐵站的升級改造。

However, Cohen says he doesn't plan to build any part of the project unless he is approved to build a casino. If Metropolitan Park gains all necessary approvals, and is selected as one of up to three downstate projects to receive a license from the state, Cohen says the complex would be completed by 2030.

然而，科恩表示，除非獲得批准建造賭場，否則他不打算建造該項目的任何部分。科恩表示，如果大都會公園獲得所有必要的批准，並被選為最多三個獲得州政府許可的州內項目之一，該綜合體將於 2030 年完工。

"It's time New York got the sports and entertainment park it deserves," Cohen said in a statement.

科恩在一份聲明中說：“紐約是時候建立它應有的體育和娛樂公園了。”

"Metropolitan Park delivers on the promise of a shared space that people will not only want to come to and enjoy, but can be truly proud of."

“大都會公園兌現了人們不僅願意前來享受共享空間的承諾，而且還可以真正為此感到自豪。”

It's unclear whether or not Metropolitan Park truly has local support, with varying polls released by supporters and detractors showing different results. But the Queens project is far from the only casino proposal that has had to deal with significant pushback from surrounding communities and local politicians.

目前還不清楚大都會公園是否真正得到當地的支持，支持者和反對者發布的不同民意調查顯示了不同的結果。但皇后區計畫並不是唯一一個必須應對週邊社區和當地政界人士強烈反對的賭場提案。

A Times Square casino bid supported by Caesars Entertainment, Roc Nation, and SL Green is offering a $250 million commitment in community benefits in an effort to overcome opposition on Broadway and in Hell's Kitchen. Meanwhile, a group called Protect the High Line is working against a $12 billion resort at Hudson Yards proposed by Related Companies and Wynn Resorts, saying it would degrade the High Line public park and surrounding neighborhoods.

由 Caesars Entertainment、Roc Nation 和 SL Green 支持的時代廣場賭場競標承諾提供 2.5 億美元的社區福利，以克服百老匯和地獄廚房的反對。與此同時，一個名為「保護高線公園」的組織正在反對相關公司和永利度假村提議在哈德遜城市廣場建造耗資 120 億美元的度假村，稱這將破壞高線公園和周邊社區的環境。
