Las Vegas Sands looks to widen the Meadowbrook Parkway as part of a $150 million plan to mitigate the impact of a new casino-resort on the site of the Nassau Veteran’s Memorial Coliseum, Newsday has learned.
The Nevada-based company’s traffic mitigation efforts include adding one lane on each side of a stretch of the 90-year-old Meadowbrook from the Northern State to Hempstead Turnpike and spending an estimated $20 million to build a new water well to supply the Coliseum site, homes and businesses around it, according to a draft environmental impact statement obtained by Newsday and expected to be released publicly Thursday on the county’s website.
