The developer of the Aqueduct racino in South Ozone Park, Queens is considering building a convention center to rival the Javits Center, too. According to the Post, gaming company Genting New York, which operates Resorts World Casino at Aqueduct, has proposed building on the land surrounding the racino once the first facility is complete. (The project is slated to wrap up this year.) The limited space in Javits, which is undergoing renovations and just added a new wing with another 80,000 square feet of exhibition space last year, has long been the source of complaints from the business and tourism industries. “Resorts World is absolutely interested in undertaking additional projects on the land surrounding Aqueduct — if the right opportunity exists,” a Genting spokesperson said.
