The Coney Community Advisory Committee voted to reject the Coney Island casino plan - a sprawling gambling hall on the iconic boardwalk.
Over the summer, the Turn To Tara team got an exclusive look at a proposal from The Coney team and the unique strategy its backers hope will give them the edge.
If awarded the license, the developers behind the Brooklyn-based proposal said they would have launched a $75 million community safety fund aimed at bolstering local fire, police and EMS services over the next five years in direct response to neighborhood concerns.
Some neighbors against the casino were concerned that the development would impede the view of the skyline and character of Coney Island and Luna Park.
