From Queens Eagle:
The city and New York Mets owner Steve Cohen signed a lease agreement on Monday that will allow Cohen and Hard Rock to build an $8 billion casino and entertainment complex on Citi Field’s parking lot should they be granted one of three downstate casino licenses the state is expected to hand out in the coming weeks.
The agreement, which was confirmed by both the city and the casino bidders, comes only a few days after a Manhattan judge ordered the city to halt negotiations over a lease with Cohen as a result of a lawsuit from the United States Tennis Association, which owns and operates the professional tennis complex across the street from the proposed casino project known as Metropolitan Park.
