The Town of Hempstead took another step toward bringing a casino to Nassau County. The town’s zoning board approved new zoning on Tuesday that would potentially open the door for a hotel/casino at the Nassau Hub.
In April, Las Vegas Sands canceled its lease deal. Initially, they signed a 99-year lease with the county to bulld a high-end hotel and casino at the Coliseum. After a lawsuit and pushback, a new 42-year agreement was signed.
“Today’s vote by the Town Board is an important step in realizing the potential for sustainable and transformative development of the property at Nassau’s HUB,” said Brian Devine, Town of Hempstead, Director of Communications.
