A Nassau County civic group claims it’s the “height of hypocrisy” for Las Vegas Sands to seek tax relief in its quest to build a $4 billion integrated resort in Uniondale, NY.
The “Say NO to the Casino Civic Association” issued a scathing statement after reports surfaced last week that Sands was seeking tax breaks. Reports said it could approach the Nassau County Industrial Development Association (IDA) with requests for sales tax relief on select items, and a reduction in the mortgage recording tax. Specifically, the gaming operator is said to be aiming for sales tax exemptions on construction equipment, raw materials, and furnishings for the yet-to-be-approved gaming venue.
