ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a plan Wednesday by a private gambling enterprise to build the world's largest convention center and hotel complex at New York City's Aqueduct racetrack as part of his push to expand gambling for more state tax revenue and jobs. The proposed $4 billion, nearly 4 million-square foot convention center with 3,000 hotel rooms located in Queens between New York City's major airports would replace the Jacob Javits Center on Manhattan. The Javits Center was considered too small almost from the outset and poorly suited for the kind of bold, glitzy convention center that would be appropriate for Manhattan as a world destination.
