A committee voted down the last remaining proposal to build a casino in Manhattan, though proposals to build casinos in other New York boroughs are still alive.

The New York Gaming Facility Location Board will issue up to three casino licenses for downstate New York by year’s end. The Freedom Plaza plan would have seen a casino and other facilities built on land near the United Nations headquarters.

But four of six members of the community advisory committee on whether the project would go forward voted no. The committee members appointed by Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams voted yes.

Two other planned Manhattan casinos, one in Times Square and the other on Manhattan’s Far West Side, were also voted down recently, according to the New York Times. Ms. Hochul’s and Mr. Adams’ appointees for the committees for those projects were also the only ones to vote yes on moving the two projects forward, according to The New York Times.

Mr. Adams denounced the opposition of local politicians representing Manhattan to the casino projects.

“Elected officials have unfairly taken Manhattan out of the game before it even began,” an Adams spokesman said.

The remaining competitors for the casino licenses include a project in Brooklyn at Coney Island, a project at Throggs Neck in The Bronx, a project next to Citi Field in Queens, an expansion of the existing Resorts World racetrack and gaming hall in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens and another project in Yonkers, according to New York news site The City.

The project near Citi Field, the New York Mets’ home stadium, is backed by billionaire Steve Cohen, who owns the team, according to the New York Post.

The advisory committee for the Yonkers project will vote Tuesday, while the committee for the Jamaica plan will vote Thursday.

No votes have been scheduled yet for the other three casinos, according to Crain’s New York Business.

Four of the six people on the committee for the Coney Island project have announced that they plan to vote no, according to The City, which would narrow down the possible location of a New York City casino to The Bronx or Queens.

The community advisory committees for all of the remaining proposals have until Sept. 30 to vote on whether the projects move forward, according to the New York Post.
