Letter: Investment to benefit Uniondale?

Print

I read that Forest City Ratner will get an influx of capital from Chinese investors for the new Coliseum project ["$10M sought for Uniondale," News, April 13].

County Executive Edward Mangano's office has said the additional money will be put toward "higher-end amenities" for the project. What are they?

I also think the Uniondale community should get some of that capital for real-life amenities, such as a community center and other local benefits.

How many jobs will be created for Uniondale residents? I hope it will be quite a few.

Kevin H. Fox, Jericho
