S 7121 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the city of New York to discontinue the use as parkland and alienate certain land within Flushing Meadows Corona Park

This bill authorizes New York City to lease approximately 77 acres of parkland within Flushing Meadows Corona Park to Queens Future, LLC for development of a gaming facility plus commercial, retail, and recreational uses. It requires the city to dedicate funds equal to the land's fair market value toward acquiring new parkland or improving existing parks in Queens, including developing at least 20 acres of new parkland (with a specific connection from Roosevelt Avenue to Boat Basin). The affected land includes two designated areas (Area A and Area B) totaling 76.96 acres, excluding Citi Field. The bill is currently in committee with recent action advancing it to third reading.
