On May 19, Wynn Resorts officially withdrew its attempt to apply for a gaming license in New York according to a statement from the operator, effectively ending any hopes of developing its Hudson Yards project in the Empire State.
The decision came as a slight surprise to the project’s supporters, given the Hudson Yards proposal was approved by the City Planning Commission on April 10, although the Commission also reiterated its latest vote was not on whether the casino development would actually be allowed.
