A public hearing was held Monday on an environmental report submitted by the Las Vegas Sands on a proposed $5 billion resort ad casino they said would modernize central Nassau County while unlocking additional economic development opportunities for the county and enhancing the quality of life for residents.
The hearing, held at the Nassau County Legislature, was attended by officials residents and activists in support and opposition to the proposal.
The plan calls for modernizing the Meadowbrook Parkway by adding additional capacity and reconstructing bridges to ease congestion, which will not require land takings but will require state approval according to the report.
