Bally's Corporation
Lobbying client
The casino and gaming company (NYSE: BALY) that won one of New York's downstate casino licenses for Bally's Bronx, a proposed casino and hotel at the former Trump-operated golf course at Ferry Point in Throggs Neck. It filed 133 disclosures in 2024 and 2025, lobbying 25 council members through five firms on the casino's environmental review, a community benefit agreement, and the city land it needs. The state awarded the license in December 2025, and Bally's bought roughly 20 acres of the Bronx parkland from the city for about $157 million in early 2026, though a rezoning is still pending.
