Yes or no Does Long Island want 75,000 new construction jobs Does long Island want 19,000 new permanent jobs Does Long Island want $71 million in new taxes a year Does Long Island want the best indoor sports facility in America By signing this petition you are saying YES to the most important question Long Island has faced in many decades. YES to keeping the islanders on Long Island. YES to building a bright future for everyone who lives on Long island. The time for the Town of Hempstead to make a decision on the zoning for the current application for Lighthouse project is NOW. Long Island can not afford to risk further delay or jeopardize the full scope of the project's benefits. John Durso President Long Island Federation of Labor James Castellane President Nassau/Suffolk Building Trades

We are approaching one thousand signatures and this momentum is exactly what we need to show the Town of Hempstead that Long Island demands the Lighthouse project. Please send this link to your neighbors right now because showing up with a massive list of names is the only way to ensure the future of our local construction jobs.

The Town of Hempstead continues to hide behind procedural delays while thousands of local families wait for the economic security this project provides. My conversations with union members confirm that patience is running thin as we approach the point where this opportunity might slip through our fingers for good.

The local economy is dead. We need these construction jobs now before everyone keeps moving away.

This is a massive opportunity for the area. Why is it even a debate at this point?
