“As New York now begins its recovery, we are proud to continue to provide critical support so that kids across the state have access to a higher-quality education, and we are ready to step up and elevate that support in both the short- and long-term for the state,” said Bob DeSalvio, the president of Genting Americas East, which operates the site.
Over the past fiscal year, the New York Lottery contributed $3.38 billion to help support education in the state, of which the Ozone Park casino generated $348 million, more than any of the other video gaming operator in the state.
The city received $1.5 billion from the overall fund during the 2019-2020 fiscal year.
Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Queens), chairman of the Senate Committee on Racing, Gaming and Wagering, applauded the additional funds brought in by the casino.
