    This Week In New York/Page 1 This Week in New York Covering New York State and City Government A Publication of Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC September 27, 2019 Edition Shanah Tovah from Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC In the News – State Governor Breaks Ground on New Belmont Park Arena Governor Andrew Cuomo joined the New York Islanders, National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman, local leaders and hockey fans to break ground on the New York Islanders' new arena at Belmont Park, the centerpiece of the $1.3 billion Belmont Park Redevelopment. In addition, Governor Cuomo announced the team has agreed to play 28 regular season games at the Nassau Veteran's Memorial Coliseum during the 2019-2020 season, seven more than previously planned. {00665744.DOCX / }Pitta Bishop & Del Giorno LLC, 111 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York. (518) 449-3320 Theresa Cosgrove, editor, [email protected] This Week In New York/Page 2 "The Islanders belong on Long Island — and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever." Announced in December 2017, the Belmont Redevelopment Project will turn 43 acres of underutilized parking lots at Belmont Park into a premier sports and hospitality destination, including a new 19,000-seat arena for the New York Islanders hockey team and other events, a 250-key hotel, a retail village and office and community space.

Joseph Addabbo, Queens Library's Interim President and CEO Bridget Quinn-Carey and other government and community leaders were on hand today to ceremonially re-open Queens Library at Peninsula. The library has re-opened following a $3.6 million re- building. During Superstorm Sandy, the seawater surged above four feet inside the library, devastating the interior. The rebuilt library includes all new library collections, more computers, a completely new interior with an expanded Adult Learning Center, an expanded children's room with an early childhood alcove and enhanced "Family Place" programming, a separate new teen area with gaming, reading and group work areas, self-service check-out and 24/7 check-in, and a program/community room with a separate entry that can be used when the library is closed for public service. Additional sustainability features have been included to help protect it from damage from future weather events. “Parents across our city know libraries can help develop their child’s lifelong love of reading. And in the years since Hurricane Sandy, residents of this community know the importance of having a bright, newly restored library where they can bring their families.
