The Sands New York team expressed gratitude to the hundreds of Long Islanders who showed up for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) hearing on December 9th to share their voice in support of Sands New York. The DEIS, a 29,000+ page, 6ft tall document, is the most comprehensive environmental impact statement ever presented on Long Island, reflecting Sands’ steadfast commitment to sustainable development, community engagement and local investment.
The DEIS is now available for public review and comments may be submitted through January 21st.
Michael Levoff, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Public Affairs at Las Vegas Sands, told local media, “Sands is committed to a thorough and transparent review of our multi-billion-dollar project at the Nassau Coliseum, evidenced by the 29,000-page, comprehensive environmental impact statement which showcases the many ways this transformative project will be a net benefit for all Long Islanders. We appreciate the constructive input from the public. We are also deeply grateful for the support we’ve received from residents and local organizations who believe that job creation, sustainable development, and meaningful investments in historically underserved communities can all be delivered as we work to bring the Sands New York project to life.”
