This past Monday, a plan has been set for the upcoming renovation of Nassau Coliseum.  Nassau County Legislature has approved for a budge of $229 million. County Executive Ed Mangano has led the way for this event. (Mineola Patch)

The unanimous vote plans for Forest City Ratner to reconstruct the coliseum starting in August 2015.  The renovations include seating for 13,000. That is 3,000 less than the capacity of the coliseum now. This plan will hopefully bring in more minor league sports teams.

The President of the Long Island Federation of Labor, John Durso, tells the Mineola Patch that the renovation project will create over 1,000 labor union jobs. The ideal goal is to produce a couple thousand hours of labor in order to boost Nassau’s economy.

As for the New York Islanders, their lease will end some short time before the renovation begins. The Islanders will then move to their new home at the Barclays Center.

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.

The redevelopment of Nassau Coliseum is near and there are two possible candidates for the job: Madison Square Garden and Forest City Ratner. Both developers are premium, but only one will get the gig.

Ed Mangano, the Nassau County executive, explains that the two developers still have to negotiate and execute contracts containing their final offers and terms for the project. Once the county receives the final contracts, a committee will make a recommendation to Mangano. The last step in the process is to submit one contract to the Legislature, which must approve the standards of any final agreement. If there are any hints of faults or confusion, the contract will be immediately voided

 The decision will most likely be decided by late August or early September, because both companies have requested for a deadline extension that will be granted.
