Bally’s Bronx

$4 billion. 15,000 construction jobs. 4,000 permanent jobs. $765MM in community benefits.  Bronx Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Sorin helped us bring this vision to life at our 4/22 community outreach event. Bally's Bronx is a generational investment in this borough.

194+ Bronx community members. MWBE. SDVOB. Prime contractors. All in one room.  Our 4/22 Bronx Outreach Event featured NYC's first-ever Chief Business Diversity Officer Michael J. Garner, Bronx Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Sorin, and Empire State Development's Jenny Low.

The Bronx deserves a chance. This proposal is beyond one neighborhood but an opportunity to invest in economic development and job growth across the Borough. Thank You Council Members Rafael Salamanca and Kevin Riley for your leadership. #BronxStrong nydailynews.com/2025/07/20/an-…

15,000 construction jobs. 4,000 permanent union jobs. $625M+ in community benefits. A beloved school saved. The @BallysBronx plan checks every box — and has the support of Bronx leaders. @CMSalamancaJr @CMKevinCRiley @NYCMayor @BPGibson2025 nydailynews.com/2025/07/20/an-…

“We urge the mayor to stand with Bronx residents, with labor, with small businesses, with working families — and to veto this decision.” The Bronx deserves what every other borough has gotten. @CMSalamancaJr @CMKevinCRiley @NYCMayor nydailynews.com/2025/07/20/an-…
