The Village of Floral Park has filed suit to block the $1.3 billion redevelopment of Belmont Park, which would include a new arena for the New York Islanders and entertainment complex, according to a statement by Mayor Dominick Longobardi.
The Article 78 proceeding was filed Monday in state Supreme Court, seeking “judicial review of the approval by Empire State Development Corporation” of the Belmont project.
