Hey CB and fellow Islanders fans I would love to be there in August, however I am over in Iraq. Is there anything I can do to contribute from over here? Whenever I am not on a mission and i have free time I am always checking in to see the latest news about the Islanders and it would kill me if they moved.

orngfan-(#35)- Most people have little things called JOBS in order to pay for the season tickets and may not be able to take a day to go to the meeting. If you can get a day off, fine, but don’t judge people be3cause they can’t get the day off. I’ll try, but that doesn’t make me less of a fan.

Big day number 1 (Draft day)over, now it’s time to let the TOH and nassau county know how important this project is not only to the ISLANDER’S but to LONG ISLAND as well. I will try to be there on Aug,4th just started a new job so it’s up in the air right now. let’s pack that theatre on the 4th. I agree with frank D that yes this important for us ISLANDER FAN’S but what it would do for Nassau county and long Island as well. You go to just about any other arena,stadium and there’s thing’s to do before and after the game.The NVMC aother then the Marriot there’s nothing in walking distance other then Micky D’s, just where I want to go to after a game. Let’s go guy’s and gal’s let’s keep this going and hope to see a huge turnout on the 4th…

Just to be clear, the DGEIS was simply deemed complete today, not approved. Approval comes at the end of the hearing process. A “complete” DGEIS opens the door for that process to proceed. The headline to this post is misleading as it says “DGEIS Approved”

what drives me nuts is they pretend that this is equal to any business that the town does… trying to put up a facade that it’s not a big thing but it’s one of the biggest projects to hit the area… they need to treat it like that and not put it at the end of a typical town meeting

I’m writing my letters, getting my family to do so too – since we are out of town.

Whoever can get to the Aug 4th meeting try to get your voice heard. Don’t play up the Islander angle, but speak about the economic boon it would be for hempstead. New jobs, better roads, etc. Someone will start moaning about additional traffic, noise and such. There will be no more traffic and noise then there is now. Let them know this is for a greater cause then the Islanders. ( Even though there is no greater cause):)

It’s been a while…

Assuming all goes well on the 4th, how much more of the lighthouse needs to pass through the ToH?

Since it’s open for public comments, they must be making it available somewhere. I’m sure it’ll come out shortly. Love all the Lighthouse and Islanders coverage lately. It’s nice to open up the paper and see more than a tiny 5-sentence piece about hockey on Long Island. It matters and I think that is starting to show more.
