Hobbs said he has met with representatives from Sands multiple times in the last few months and has discussed issues including traffic and community benefits. “I’m never automatically against anything,” Hobbs said in an interview.
Hobbs told The Point he hadn’t come to a “firm yay or nay” on the casino project itself. A day after the legislature voted 17-1 in favor of the lease transfer, Hobbs spoke to The Point about Sands’ proposal to build a casino resort at the land known as the Nassau Hub.
