Midday News: Elderly Woman at Nursing Home Faces Murder Charges, No Casino in Times Square or Hudson Yards, and a Push for a Community Center in Brooklyn
Published 6 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Police are charging a 95-year-old woman with murder after she allegedly hit and killed a fellow resident at the Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing Center on Coney Island. Plus, there will not be a casino in Times Square or Hudson Yards after committees tasked with reviewing proposals rejected Caesars Palace's plan and the Avenir Casino in Hudson Yards. And finally, a coalition of residents in Canarsie, Brooklyn, are pushing for a new community center. The push comes as the city is funding a feasibility study on the project, but advocates say officials need to do more.
