UNIONDALE, NY-After luring the New York Islanders from their home here to his Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Bruce Ratner is expected to be one of a number of firms that will be interested in renovating and operating the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Ratner, chairman and CEO of Forest City Ratner Cos., declined comment on the report in the New York Post.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano announced on Tuesday a request for proposals to renovate and run the 41-year-old building and was expected to formally announce the initiative in his State of the County address today.
“Based on our review of the arena and the marketplace, we believe that the [Coliseum] can be a viable entertainment venue,” Ratner says. See story in the New York Post.
