There's new momentum behind New York Mets owner Steve Cohen's vision to transform the area around Citi Field in Queens.
Borough leaders rallied outside State Sen. Jessica Ramos' office Monday and called on her to push legislation supporting the Metropolitan Park proposal, which includes a casino.
"This is a great project and Jessica we're calling out to you. We love you, but we need your help and without you this cannot go through," said Aaliyah Rose Scott, of Jackson Heights.
The proposal would transform 50 acres of asphalt around Citi Field into a sports and entertainment park. Developers say the project would bring 23,000 union jobs and provide 25 acres of public park space.
The asphalt is technically designated as public park land, so the plan needs state legislation to move forward.
