The Nassau County Legislature heard public comments this week on how a proposed casino in Uniondale could affect the environment. Residents raised concerns about the project’s impact on air and water quality, and how the Nassau Hub would accommodate an influx of visitors and vehicle traffic.

The purpose of the hearing was to find out what concerns residents want addressed in the state-mandated environmental review process, known as SEQRA.

Several dozen residents told the legislature they’re concerned about how the $6 billion project by Las Vegas Sands would affect traffic and air pollution, energy consumption, and water quality in the surrounding area.
