Las Vegas Sands will no longer pursue casino bid at Nassau Coliseum, company executives say
John Durso, president of the Long Island Federation of Labor, representing thousands of union workers, said they "remain optimistic."
"The broad-based support for development of a transformational project at the Nassau Coliseum is evident by the massive support over the last several years," Durso said in a text message. "We remain optimistic Sands is successful in securing an agreement with a third party who shares our vision focused on strengthening our communities, creating good union jobs, and making sound local investments that will deliver for generations."
