Welcome to New York, where it’s damn near impossible to get anything built. The New York Islanders arena has been in the process of being built for the last few weeks on the Belmont location.
That might end quickly, as the Village of Floral Park is filing a suit against the state to stop the project. What Floral Park would like is for construction to stop and for the environmental review process to restart.
The original environmental review didn’t study the impact of the new Elmont LIRR station that is going to be added.
