Once again the public is going to get a say on a new Islanders arena. The club hopes this time it works out better than the last.
There will be a public hearing at Elmont Public Library on July 10 so residents can chime in with their opinions about an upcoming redevelopment project at Belmont Park race track, which is likely to include a bid for a brand-new home for the Islanders. After hearing what the residents have to say, the state is then set to release a Request for Proposals (RFA) on the site sometime soon thereafter.
