Bidders to the starting gate.<\/p>\n
New York State will release the long awaited request For proposal land at Belmont Park in Elmont as \u00a0early as Monday, according to a report from Newsday<\/a>. The impending RFP will be the third the state has put out for the site and the Islanders are expected to bid to develop a hockey arena on the land.<\/p>\n The news is just the start of what will be a thorough process for New York State to sift through potential bidders and select a bid that best fits the site. \u00a0Newsday reporter and editorial board member Randi Marshall<\/a> provided some more insight on twitter on how the timeline that could play out once the RFP is released.<\/p>\n Developers and others will likely have around three months to respond. Then ESD evaluates responses, and hopefully makes decision.<\/p>\n — Randi Marshall (@randimarshall) July 27, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
