Politicians representing the West Side of Manhattan are voicing opposition to Related Cos.\u2019 development plan for the High Line area, which includes a Wynn Resorts casino hotel.<\/p>\n

The gaming venue is part of a broader $12 billion development plan<\/a> pitched by Related for the west side of Hudson Yards. It\u2019s expected that if that proposal is allowed to proceed and Wynn wins one of the yet-to-be-awarded downstate casino permits, there would be three towers, including one bearing the gaming company\u2019s name. Some politicians are already opposed to the plan.<\/p>\n

Assemblyman Tony Simone (D-District 75) told The New York Post<\/em> that he\u2019s long opposed the West Side casino effort and unless his constituents change their views on the matter, he expects to remain against it. Simone\u2019s objection to the Related\/Wynn plan is noteworthy because he\u2019s slated to be one of the six members of the board that will vote on whether or not to recommend the proposal to the state regulators that will ultimately decide the winners of the three downstate casino licenses.<\/p>\n

Criticism of Wynn New York Casino Mounting<\/h2>\n

Simone\u2019s opposition and that of Assemblywoman Deborah Glick (D-District 66) to the Related\/Wynn effort arrived less than two weeks after the High Line, a nonprofit group named after a park on Manhattan’s West Side, officially launched the \u201cProtect the High Line\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n

That organization alleges that the real estate developer is attempting to alter a 2009 agreement<\/a> with the city that, if allowed to proceed, could result in obstructed views and significantly less residential housing than previously expected.<\/p>\n

\n

Much of the allure of the High Line is that it includes park space and elevations that allow visitors to gain picturesque views of the Manhattan skyline. Glick, whose district includes the southern portion of the High Line, said in a statement issued to the Post<\/em> that she opposes any plan that would obstruct High Line views or diminish the overall experience in the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Glick and Simone aren\u2019t the first local lawmakers to express concern about Related\u2019s proposal. Earlier this year, Manhattan Community Board 4<\/a> (MCB4) questioned the casino plan while displaying dismay about the possibility that the number of housing units will be slashed.<\/p>\n

Related Wants Constructive Dialogue<\/h2>\n

Local opposition is now a hallmark of nearly all<\/a> of the most visible New York City-area casino bids. That was likely expected by gaming companies and their real estate partners, but that doesn\u2019t mean it can be ignored. The opposite is true.<\/p>\n

The bulk of the downstate casino plans aren\u2019t tenable without the gaming venue component, meaning dialogue between casino aspirants and opposition is essential. That\u2019s what Related is seeking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have met with the High Line 10 times and made meaningful amendments to our proposal in direct response to concerns they raised. It is our hope that as good neighbors, they would discuss any further concerns with us directly in the spirit of that constructive dialogue,\u201d according to a statement issued by the developer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
