Meadowlands proposal includes casinos, hotels
August 20, 2014
By JOHN BRENNAN
Quote:
....The chamber’s plan envisions these elements:
• A pair of hotels with a total of 2,000 rooms, one near American Dream Meadowlands and the other near the racetrack;
• A convention center of 700,000 to 1 million square feet;
• Four unspecified casino-gambling sites, which officials said could perhaps be at each hotel, the track, and at the convention center;
• Four new parking decks that combined would nearly double the 27,000 parking spaces currently available;
• A 1.5-mile people mover such as a monorail that would transport visitors between the various elements at the site: the existing NJ Transit rail station, the Izod Center, American Dream, and the new track grandstand and the elements envisioned in the plan.
