Jay-Z's Roc Nation has published an open letter to New York City as part of its bid to operate a proposed casino in Times Square.
Roc Nation has partnered with SL Green Realty Corp. and Caesars Entertainment on its bid.
Last month, a group of Times Square businesses that includes the Broadway League and the restaurant/Broadway outpost Sardi’s formed the No Times Square Casino Community Coalition, reports the . “We believe [the proposed casino] challenges the cultural significance and the unique character that Broadway has delivered for New York for such a long time,” Broadway League president Charlotte St. Martin told the. “Obviously, we are just coming back and getting healthy, and we believe that a casino will damage that character and damage attendance.”
Roc Nation’s competition includes Steve Cohen, who owns the New York Mets; Stephen Ross, who owns the Miami Dolphins; developer Stefan Soloviev; and John Catsimatidis, who runs a Manhattan chain of grocery stores called Gristedes.A gaming license is going to be awarded to New York City. A bill was passed in the state legislature confirming it.
The winning group must have a track record of turning words into deeds — of putting New York City and its residents first — people of all races, religions, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, and socio-economic statuses. New Yorkers in every corner of every borough — all of us. The winning organization must have a history of campaigning for fair hiring, representation, and reform. Hate, as well as groups that have a history of oppressing the most vulnerable, have no place in New York.
