Mets owner Steve Cohen is banking on a nearby soccer stadium project to help him hit the jackpot after dropping a fortune for trying to build a casino next to Citi Field.
His wife Alexandra boosted Gov. Hochul’s successful election bid this year with a $69,700 donation, the maximum allowed under law, records show. She also donated $22,600 in January to the campaign of then-Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin, who resigned months later after being indicted on unrelated federal bribery charges.
Mayor Eric Adams held a press conference this month about a new soccer stadium and affordable housing units in Willets Point.Cohen has discussed building a casino in Citi Field’s parking lot, but one big holdup is that the land is technically considered parkland, so additional state approvals would be needed, according to various officials briefed on the matter.
Ramos, who would likely be required to sign off on such legislation to strip parkland status, said she wants to hear from the public first.
