Despite there not being a shovel in the ground just yet, Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said Monday that everything was on schedule for the building of the team’s new arena at Belmont Park.
Ledecky said the proposed date to move in for the start of the 2021-22 season is still set, while the team spends at least the next two seasons — if not three — dividing its home games between Barclays Center and the renovated Nassau Coliseum.
Currently, the proposal for the new building is going through the political red tape, with community meetings — including the occasional small protest — as well as environmental issues.
