Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Monday is expected to announce a plan to build a new Long Island Rail Road station at Belmont Park as part of a proposed $1.2 billion arena project for the New York Islanders, sources said.
The full-service rail station will cost about $100 million with arena developers funding a majority of the construction, according to sources with knowledge of the project.
The new station would be attached to the LIRR’s Main Line, just north of Belmont Park, and would allow people traveling from the east to take the train directly to Belmont.
