Why Bally's (BALY) Shares Are Falling Today
The council voted 29-9 to disapprove the zoning changes necessary for Bally's to build its proposed casino resort at Ferry Point Park. The project's failure to secure this key approval is a major blow to the company's ambitions to enter the lucrative downstate New York market, for which only three casino licenses are available. Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato, who represents the district, led the opposition, stating the developers "came to the table a little too late, with promises too vague and a process too flawed to rebuild the trust that was already lost in our community." The decision casts significant doubt on the future of the proposed development, which was set to include a 500-room hotel and a 2,000-seat entertainment venue.
