Belmont Park Unveils $455M Makeover Previewing a 2027 Stakes Renaissance

Belmont Park in Elmont, NY is undergoing a three-year, $455 million rebuild that reduces the grandstand to about 300,000 square feet but adds climate-controlled indoor space, a winter-ready Tapeta track, two turf tracks, and a redesigned paddock; the project also features expanded dining by Marc Forgione and a flexible, infield area that can host concerts, with a planned early-2027 reopening ahead of the Belmont Stakes’ return.

Nassau Plans ICE Pact Exit, Backs Sheriff-Led Lawsuit Against Hochul

Nassau County will unwind its ICE 287(g) agreement and join a federal lawsuit led by multiple county sheriffs challenging Gov. Hochul’s anti-ICE measures, while Blakeman says the county will comply with the law but still seeks to preserve some ICE cooperation; Hochul has urged compliance and threatened action against holdouts, and the sheriffs’ suit is led by Rensselaer County’s officials.

Blakeman yields on NY law ending local ICE ties, but keeps limited cooperation

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman abandoned his bid to challenge New York’s law banning formal 287(g) cooperation with ICE, but said he will still have police cooperate with ICE where possible and will join a sheriffs’ lawsuit challenging the measure. The law bars 287(g) partnerships and prohibits local jails from holding people for ICE. Hochul defends the law as a way to curb aggressive enforcement and let local police focus on local crime, while critics say it compromises safety. Nassau’s East Meadow jail has housed more than 1,000 inmates since Oct. 2025, and a Newsday report found 147 detained immigrants had prior violent-crime convictions; Blakeman argued that some arrests of undocumented individuals could have led to longer pre-trial releases if not handed over to ICE.

Nassau County detects first measles case since 2024, prompting vaccination push

Nassau County health officials confirmed a laboratory-tested measles case in an unvaccinated child under five—the county’s first since 2024—triggering a state-wide investigation and urging anyone possibly exposed who has symptoms to seek medical care. Measles is highly contagious and can cause serious complications; officials say two doses of the MMR vaccine are the best prevention. Nassau and Suffolk counties have about 82% of residents with at least one MMR dose (well below the 95% herd immunity target); Suffolk reports no current measles cases, while Nassau continues monitoring the situation.
