Monday's announcement is linked to Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano's efforts to rebuild the /*Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum*/. Voters will decide Aug. 1 on whether to approve a $400 million referendum for the coliseum project.
Included in the referendum is a plan to build a $50 million minor league baseball park near the coliseum in /*Uniondale*/.
Mangano said Frank Boulton has been chosen to bring an Atlantic League team to Nassau. Boulton already owns the /*Long Island Ducks*/, who play in neighboring Suffolk County.
If the referendum passes, the project is still subject to a review by a state fiscal watchdog overseeing Nassau's finances.
