Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said he is taking the community's concerns about the team's planned arena at Belmont Park "very seriously" and still expects construction to begin in May of next year.
“I think when you’re building a project of that scale, you want to make sure all the different groups have input, whether it’s business groups, community groups, residents,” Ledecky told Newsday on Thursday at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow following a news conference to announce the organization will partner with LGBT Network for an anti-bullying initiative in more than 200 Long Island and New York City schools.
