Floral Park officials want a meeting with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to discuss the Islanders $1.3 billion Belmont project before possibly going to court to stop the development, Mayor Dominick Longobardi said Tuesday night.
Longobardi, speaking at a regularly scheduled trustees meeting, said village officials have left voicemails and sent emails to Cuomo’s staff attempting to set up a meeting “about the detrimental effects” the Islanders’ proposal will have on Floral Park.
“It is in the governor’s court,” Longobardi said.
