Lots of talk in the media about this.

Referencing that it's now a two tower project within a gated community.

Developer touts casino plan as 'windfall' for Jersey City
Quote:
Opposition to a Jersey City casino has focused on concerns over traffic and problems critics say casinos attract, like prostitution and vagrancy. Fireman dismissed those objections.

The traffic impact on Jersey City streets would be minimal because the resort's customers would use the New Jersey Turnpike or ferries to get to the site, Fireman said, while the resort would not attract prostitutes or vagrants because it would sit inside a gated property. The resort would rise on a site adjacent to the golf course's clubhouse.

Fireman said his plan is to build a $3 billion, two-tower resort called Liberty Rising that includes a hotel, restaurants, a spa and, yes, a casino with about 6,000 slots and 500 tables.
