Tempers rose outside of a community meeting set up to provide information and to solicit input from the local community about a proposed casino in Coney Island.
Some people outside of the YMCA in Coney Island expressed frustrations and concerns that the proposed gambling venue, hotel and entertainment complex will not live up to the economic promise that its developer claims.
Meanwhile, some others said that the community should welcome the proposed new investment.
There were two meetings on Monday — one in the morning, the other in the evening — organized by Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso.
In the gathering, in the Coney Island YMCA gymnasium, signs and maps were displayed on easels laying out facts about the local community, and seeking comments about how a casino might affect various aspects of Coney Island: income, environmental conditions, public safety, and so on.
