Notably, Ramos is a Democrat who is considering running for mayor in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen&#8217;s proposed project would see the casino and entertainment complex be constructed next to Citi Field. Additionally, the property would also feature a 20-acre park, conference facility, hotel, music venue, and Queens Food Hall.<\/p>\n<p>The Mets owner was hoping to obtain a New York City casino licence with Hard Rock International. However, his plans in Queens may be scuppered by Ramos&#8217; unwillingness to build a casino.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the New York State Gaming Commission is offering three downstate casino licences.
