Thank God. My child can know at least 25 years of misery before they move.
Stop being a Negative Nancy, anything is possible if you believeI don't think it's going to be finished in time for tonight's game.

I pass Belmont every day on my commute, and I always sneak a peak. She's as beautiful as the pictures suggest.
An arena takes shape.

No, I went to Elmont HS and grew up all around the area. Any questions, ask away.But doesn't Elmont have their own police force?
I think they need more time to file various newspaper clippings and affidavits from cranky neighbors as exhibits. I understand that they have a real bombshell, smoking gun clipping from the local Pennysaver that could blow the whole thing wide open.The final decision on whether to grant the stay should be happening soon, correct?

Floral Park has its own.
Elmont, Valley Stream, New Hyde Park, and Franklin Square are Nassau.

Thanks for the info
Court filings: Belmont arena plan hatched long before RFP
By: David Winzelberg January 22, 2020
Emails between the head of the New York Racing Association, officials from Empire State Development and Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office sent in November 2016, revealed details of an updated master plan for the Elmont horse-racing venue that included an arena for the Islanders.
The emails and master plan show that an Islanders arena was planned at least eight months before ESD issued its July 2017 request for proposals for the site and a month before the agency’s first Belmont RFP, issued in October 2012, was scrapped...
Meanwhile, Judge Roy Mahon is slated to make a decision in March on whether to grant the stay requested by Floral Park and its co-plaintiffs that would halt the Belmont arena construction.
No reason to be concerned about this right now; It’s just another post from the only person that’s been consistently bashing the arena for almost 3 years from 3000 miles away.So many thoughts:
- Incarcerated Bob got his hands on this as when he leaks those first photos they were in this report.
- That older version of the arena with it being mostly glass looked sharp as hell.
- If you look at renderings of when the area south of Hemstead Tpke was going to be all parking...It was going to be 3 tiers.
- Also older renderings had the entertainment district as more of a mall with multiple levels built into the ground.
- It sure felt like the RFA was a farce and this essentially proves it. If the judge cares about that he certainly has cause to issue a stay.
- That said what in the heck would happen if any judge ordered a stay...Or even a termination of the entire project (which is like 20% done already)? Belmont NIMBYs may not want an arena there, but now would they want a rusting construction site just sitting there for years?
