Latest Proposal For Nassau Coliseum: A Biotech Campus
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) - With the New York Islanders heading to Barclays Center in Brooklyn in 2015, the search is on for a replacement for the decaying Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The latest proposal is to replace it with a five-million-square-foot biotech campus, a $2 to $3 billion development that would include bioscience technology, health care, and sports medicine.
Developer Don Monti has proposed linking the campus by rail or bus to a new 92-acre retail, residential, and commercial Hempstead village development.
