Hofstra Lawsuit Claims Nassau Planning Commission Breached Open Meetings Law

Yesterday, Hofstra University, a private university in Hempstead, filed a lawsuit against the Nassau County Planning Commission for supposedly breaching state open meetings law when it called a hearing on a $4 billion plan for a casino-resort on the site of the Nassau Coliseum in New York.

Opponent of the construction of the proposed casino-resort:

Hofstra University has come out against the construction of a proposed New York casino by Las Vegas Sands, an American casino and resort company based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The site of the new casino-resort would be on the 72-acre county-owned Uniondale property, the Nassau Hub, one of the last pieces of undeveloped public land in Nassau, meaning near the campus of the aforementioned university.
