CHARLES WANG STATEMENT

Islander Owner comments on the rumors of "pulling the plug" on the Lighthouse Prject

Thursday, 10.15.2009 / 12:38 PM / News
New York Islanders

This statement was issued by Charles B. Wang, Principal of Lighthouse Development Group and Owner of the New York Islanders, at 11:30 a.m. today.
 
“Yesterday’s report on the Lighthouse project which appeared in the Long Island Press is untrue. There are no plans to abandon this project which is so vital to the future of Nassau County and Long Island as a whole.
 
As far as the status of the Lighthouse project, we have submitted to The Town of Hempstead and Supervisor Kate Murray all the studies and required documents. A lease has been negotiated. Supervisor Murray and the Town Board need to make a decision on the zoning.
 
Long Island stands in this defining moment waiting for an answer. Yes or no.
 
Moving forward, we will not discuss any meetings in the media. Any reports of meetings should be considered untrue.
 
My heart is still on Long Island. I love Long Island. This is where the Islanders belong. Let's play hockey."
