Hempstead passes controversial rezoning for Nassau HUB, no casino plans for now

After months of tense debate, the land on which the Nassau Coliseum sits has been rezoned for new development. 

Though there are no current plans to fill the Nassau Coliseum with a controversial casino, the town board still received a loud chorus of boos from its opponents when it approved the rezoning that would theoretically allow one in the future Tuesday afternoon.
