A state appeals court has sided with Hofstra University in denying Nassau County’s request to keep its 99 year lease agreement in place with Las Vegas Sands for the Nassau Coliseum site.
The lease was part of Las Vegas Sands plan to build a $4 billion casino project on the Nassau Coliseum property.
Hofstra University sued Nassau County, alleging the county Planning Commission violated state Open Meetings Law by not properly notified the public of a meeting on the lease issue.
