A public hearing will be held at the Nassau County Legislature on Dec. 9 on the proposed multibillion-dollar Las Vegas Sands casino resort.
Last month, Sands submitted a 28,000-page draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) to the legislature, which unanimously confirmed that the document is complete, addressing all of the required topics and available for public review. The document, posted now on the Nassau legislature’s website, is available for public review and comment through Jan. 6.
The DEIS was prepared by Hauppauge-based VHB Engineering, Surveying, Landscape Architecture and Geology. The report includes plans for more than $150 million in mitigation investments that are designed to boost infrastructure and beautify Uniondale and other surrounding communities, with enhancements also slated for East Meadow and the Village of Hempstead.
