Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said Friday that he supports a full-scale casino coming to the Nassau Hub, though he wants nongambling activity to dominate any potential development project.

“It’s got to be primarily an entertainment center and hospitality business with the casino as an ancillary use there … I think that an entertainment center would be consistent with the Coliseum site,” Blakeman said in an interview before a business event in Woodbury.

The county executive’s comments came in the same week as New York State opened the window for casino operators to submit bids for three licenses downstate. The New York Gaming Facility Location Board is expected later this year to award the licenses for facilities that offer traditional card games as well as electronic gambling.
