A plan for Nassau Community College to become an employee training center for a proposed casino is creating a backlash. The project would border two college campuses. Some parents and community members told McLoganTV the casino plan is a bad idea.
"I'm not really sure about a casino, but it's good to try new things," one said."It would take away from the history that the coliseum has," another said.Hofstra and NCC are a stone's throw from what could be the new gaming entertainment center.
Hofstra remains opposed, saying,"Casino gambling does not mix well with the 40,000 students in the neighborhood of the hub." "We know there is a terrible brain drain with young people who are leaving Long Island after getting their college degrees," said former New Yorker governor David Paterson, now a senior VP for Sands."From 5 to 10% of the area is actually used for casino," Paterson said.Hofstra added it has concerns that students at either school could become addicted to gambling.
