A key community board rejected a bid to build a glittering $12 billion casino complex in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards — a potential death blow for the project.
Community Board 4 — which represents the Hudson Yards neighborhood — voted unanimously Monday night against approving a zoning change to allow the project by Related Companies and Wynn to proceed.
Under the city’s Uniformed Land Use Procedure, the local board has a right to weigh in on the zoning change, though the vote is advisory. Ultimately, the City Council must sign off along with city planners in Mayor Eric Adams’ administration.
Opponents were blunt and withering in their criticism of the project, which would abut The High Line.
