Blakeman endorses a potential casino at the Nassau Hub

Bruce Blakeman supports a full-scale casino coming to the Nassau Hub. He wants it to be an entertainment center and hospitality business with the casino as an ancillary use. Blake has had conversations with Las Vegas Sands Corp. about its interest in the Hub and will present a plan in a couple of weeks. Steve Bellone, Suffolk County Executive, says it's too soon in casino licensing process for him to take a public stance. The New York Gaming Facility Location Board is expected to award the licenses later this year.

Schumer and Bellone are talking to a crowd of 1,200 people. They discuss Long Island's role in research and technology. Bellon is working to find a recurring source of funding for Suffolk's new wastewater plan. The new federal investments secured by Schumer will continue to elevate Long Islanders' national profile for research.
