Presenter hails Resorts World license as win for Queens Borough

A presenter at a Resorts World event said the completion of the license application process represents a major victory for Queens Borough and promised local economic benefits.

"After all the negotiating, the planning, the relationship building, and all of the work navigating the license application process, we have finally made it to this day," the presenter said, asking the audience to "give yourselves a round of applause." They added that the project will create local work paying "a good union wage" and described the development as "a pathway to prosperity."

The presenter framed the project as also advancing cultural opportunity, saying it would help "level the playing field when it comes to culture" and argued that local leadership should "look and feel like the community." They noted having observed the Resorts World team participate in public hearings held as part of the licensing process.

On outreach and public messaging, the presenter urged future visitors to "gamble responsibly," and encouraged people to enjoy the non-gaming amenities at Resorts World. They closed the remarks with a quoted line attributed in the transcript to "Nazair Jones," and the exhortation, "Queens get the money. Congratulations."
