It doesn\u2019t look like Islanders\u2019 fans will get any clarity on the team\u2019s arena situation for another few months.<\/p>\n

Before New York State releases a Request For Proposal at Belmont Park, a public hearing will be held in Elmont in July for community members to weigh in, according to Newsday<\/a>. The hearing will taking place at Elmont Public Library on July 10 and will be hosted by local lawmakers with state economic officials in attendance.<\/p>\n

The Islanders have been linked to the Elmont site for some time and in April NHL Commissioner Garry Bettman said that the team would submit a bid to build a new arena at Belmont Park. An RFP for the site will be issued after the hearing in July, according to Newsday.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevelopment at Belmont will be an economic boost to the region and all improvements to the site will occur through the normal RFP process,\u201d Amy Varghes, a spokesperson for the Empire State Development Corporation, told Newsday. \u201cWe are continuing to finalize an RFP for the site, which will be released when it\u2019s ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Newsday Story comes on the same day the New York Post reported<\/a> in a late night story that Islanders ownership was looking to sell off a minority stake in the team. According to the Post report, Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin \u201care looking to sell a 15 percent stake at a $500 million valuation.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of now, according to the report, the two have not had any luck finding any potential buyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
