'A premier entertainment venue would harken back to a time when Coney Island was a destination spot that served all classes of New Yorkers.'
This is why a premier entertainment venue on Coney Island just makes sense. A casino on Coney Island would bring year-round jobs to an area in desperate need of them. Rather than the seasonal employment that dominates Coney Island, a casino and resort, with restaurants and other jobs would create thousands of career pathways where none existed before. These are jobs and opportunities that this community needs.
A premier entertainment venue would harken back to a time when Coney Island was a destination spot that served all classes of New Yorkers. It would contain retail, restaurants and entertainment that would be accessible to middle-class New Yorkers at a time when the city is increasingly unaffordable except for the rich.
Coney Island also makes logistical sense. Situated between two major airports, the D, F, N and Q trains, major roads from Manhattan and Long Island, and possibly even a ferry, Coney Island is easy to get to via all major forms of transportation. New Yorkers, no matter their preferred form of transit, will be able to safely and early get to Coney Island.
When I was on the City Council, I always looked for opportunities to serve my community and Brooklyn. I have signed on to help bring a premier entertainment venue to Coney Island because this is a continuation of that work. New York has a chance to get this right. Coney Island is a community crying out for help and revitalization. Coney Island was once a destination for everyone and its history as an entertainment hub is deep.
