Edward Mangano, the Nassau County Executive, has chosen his candidate to renovate Nassau Coliseum. Bruce Ratner has been chosen for the job, in a deal what could possibly transform the 77-acre property in the middle of the county and provides Nassau with millions of dollars a year in new revenue.

Forrest City Ratner’s group, the developer behind the Barclays center, submitted a proposal that could be worth up to 229 million dollars. The new renovations would include a 13,000-seat arena, an outdoors amphitheater, multiple restaurants, an ice-skating rink and a bowling alley or movie theater.

One of the deciding factors on choosing Ratner’s group was that NEC’s plan will pay about $4.4 million in rent next year, which was substantially higher than MSG’s proposal. Mangano stated that over the 34-year lease span, Nassau County has the potential to make up to $334 million.
