Proposals for Times Square, Hudson Yards casinos rejectedTIMES SQUARE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Proposals for two separate casino plans in Manhattan were both rejected by the Community Advisory Committee considering their future on Wednesday morning. Both the Caesars Palace Times Square and Avenir at Hudson Yards were rejected in separate votes. The Times Square proposal had been a hot-button issue, especially among the Broadway community. That includes residents like Dolores Rubin who's lived near Times Square her whole life. Developer SL Green had promised the Times Square casino would bring in $7 billion in taxes for the city and state, and hundreds of millions in investments into the neighborhood.
