THIS LAND THAT I AM STANDING ON RIGHT NOW IS A HOT ISSUE IN NASSAU COUNTY. AN IDEA PROPOSED BY CHARLES WANG, OWNER OF THE ISLANDERS TO RENOVATE THE NASSAU COLISEUM AND BUILD A LARGE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO SOME PEOPLE BUT HAS OTHERS VERY WORRIED.

Lauren Brookmeyer/ Nassau Resident: “I think that the jobs they are going to put in place is great for a lot of people, However as a Nassau County resident, I am not looking forward to all the extra traffic.”

Larry Kemp/ Nassau Resident: “Going to work is going to be a problem, the roads are going to be a problem”

Sarah Lansdale/ Executive Director of Sustainable LI: “ There is still some more information that needs to come out and more studies regarding the lighthouse, for instance the um traffic and how to accommodate all those extra cars.”

HOWEVER, REXCORP, THE MAJOR DEVELOPING COMPANY ON PROJECT LIGHTHOUSE SAYS THEY’VE ALREADY BEEN DOING THEIR HOMEWORK ON THE TRAFFIC ISSUE.

REXCORP SAYS THE HOLDUP ON PROJECT LIGHTHOUSE IS SO THEY CAN CAREFULLY TRY AND SOLVE ISSUES LIKE TRAFFIC, HOWEVER THE PROJECT HAS JUST RECENTLY HAD SOME MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND MAY BE GETTING CLOSER TO BECOMING A REALITY.

Richard Guardino/ Development Expert: Yesterday, the town board passed a resolution where they designated the town of Hempstead as the lead agency for the environmental study program- they also did a so called positive declaration meaning this project is definitely going to have an environmental impact (2:22)

IN FACT IF THE PLANS DO WORKOUT, GROUND BREAKING COULD TAKE PLACE AS SOON AS.

SARAH LANSDALE FROM SUSTAINABLE LONG ISLAND CAN ALSO SEE THE BENEFIT THE DEVELOPMENT CAN OFFER ESPECIALLY TO THE YOUTH OF LI.

Sarah Lansdale/ Executive Director of Sustainable Long Island: “The light house is such an interesting project because it has the potential to really create a new community and a new downtown for L.I. it, I think, has the potential to retain kinda LI’s youth, ah recent college graduates, things like that as well as be a huge economic engine for Long Island.”

RECORP SAYS THIS POSITIVE DECLARATION WILL BENEFIT NASSAU BECAUSE IT WILL FORCE THEM TO RE EXAMINE ALL THE ISSUES OF THE PROJECT AND HAVE TO WORK HARD IN CONVINCING THE TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD THEY CAN RESLOVE EVERY ISSUE FACING THE PROJECT, REPORTING FOR NASSAU NEWS, I’M ALEX DOLLIN
