Silverstein highlighted the group\u2019s ties to the area, saying, <em>\u201cOur company has been part of the West Side for over 40 years.

Several major proposals are expected before the June 27 deadline. These include a $12 billion Hudson Yards bid from Wynn Resorts and Related Companies, as well as plans for casinos in Times Square, Coney Island, Queens near Citi Field, the Bronx, and the East River waterfront.<\/p>\n<p>The Avenir team is counting on its combination of shovel-ready land, experienced casino operators, and community ties to make a compelling case for state regulators.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/the-avenir-gains-steam-as-rush-street-joins-nyc-casino-push\/\">The Avenir Gains Steam as Rush Street Joins NYC Casino Push<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Larry Silverstein\u2019s push to secure a casino license in New York City just gained momentum.
