Steve Cohen's Vision for Metropolitan Park

Steve Cohen has unveiled an ambitious $8 billion plan to transform the land around Citi Field into an entertainment district known as Metropolitan Park. This development aims to convert 50 acres of parking space into a mixed-use hub featuring public parks, hotels, restaurants, and even a casino. Cohen's approach stands out as he is privately funding the project without relying on taxpayer money and is committed to ensuring that no local businesses or residents will be displaced in the process. With over 23,000 jobs anticipated to be created, including $1 billion allocated for community benefits, the project is positioned as a vehicle for substantial local economic development.
