Bill de Blasio, former New York Mayor , tried to terminate Donald Trump’s lease for Trump Golf Links in Ferry Point, New York. This was in response to the Jan. 6, 2017 riots in the U.S. Capitol.
According to reports by ABC7 in New York and the a href=”https://abc7ny.com/amp/former-president-donald-trump’s links to golf course Barrys/13753707/” rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>New York Post/a>, Bally’s has taken over the lease from Trump. Bally’s is now the owner of the golf course according to ABC7 New York as well as New York Post.
New York City Parks Department released a statement saying that they support the transfer of Ferry Point Golf Course from the city to Bally’s and are confident the golf course will provide a quality experience for New Yorkers.
ABC7 reported that Bally’s will continue to manage the Ferry Point golf course. Trump was on the ninth year in a 20-year contract signed with the city when the golf course opened in 2014
According to the report the Bally’s agreement, is “similar” to the deal Trump made with Hilton, to buy him off his lease from the federal government for the operation of the old Washington DC post office.
New York Post reported that Bally’s was adding a golf course to try and land a valuable gambling license in New York City.
