It’s a win for Hudson Yards.

The City Planning Commission approved new zoning for a sprawling casino project on the western rail yards in Manhattan on Wednesday, paving the way for the project to inch forward.

The zoning must still be approved by the City Council and the project must win one of three new state casino licenses after that.

"We're not evaluating the merits of a gaming facility at this location,” Dan Garodnick, chair of the commission, said. “That process will be difficult and competitive and it is possible that no casino will be sited at this location."

So it's far from certain it will be built — but it’s a victory nonetheless after the proposal was met with serious community opposition — especially from the Friends of the High Line.

It's the latest project to get an odds boost in the long road to approval.

Eleven projects are expected to compete for up to three state licenses this year. Applications are due in June and the projects need to get their zoning and other land use approvals by Sept. 30.

Last month, New York Mets owner Steve Cohen's proposed project, known as Metropolitan Park, got a boost from a Queens state Sen. John Liu.

The project is proposed for the parking lots of Citi Field, which are technically state parkland.

Liu has introduced state legislation to allow a casino to be developed on parkland, which is necessary for the project to move forward.

In exchange, Cohen's team promised to build this elevated path in Liu's Flushing district.

"Steve and Jim have been convincing and authentic about their desire to be a positive influence on our community," Liu said at the announcement.

Liu represents only a tiny slice of Cohen's project — the vast majority is represented by Queens state Sen. Jessica Ramos, who opposes the project.

"I am not in support of this bill,” Ramos told NY1 on Wednesday. “I will not be co-sponsoring it. I will not be voting for it should it come to the floor for a vote. Senator Liu and I are in disagreement on the future of this parcel of land."

Another project needs similar state approval — Bally’s wants to build a casino in the Bronx at the site of a current golf course.

Local representatives there have also introduced legislation to allow the project to move forward.

"I felt it was time to put in the alienation bid not necessarily to make sure at least Bally's has a chance to go forward in the bill,” Assemblyman Michael Benedetto told NY1. “But it certainly is not an endorsement of the project."
