Begun, the Belmont Arena Lawsuits Have

The Village of Floral Park has done that very Long Island thing of filing suit to stop stuff from happening.

Specifically, the neighbors of Belmont Park — right next to the planned new LIRR station that would serve the race track and a new Islanders arena — have followed through on a threat and “filed papers in court to try to stop work on the Islanders’ Belmont arena project,” according to Jim Baumbach of Newsday, who broke the news.

It is an “Article 78” proceeding, so get used to hearing that a lot.
