Stadium Study
The study of options for the
future use of the Freeport Munici­pal
Stadium identifies the various
choices that have been suggested
to the village to jiato and dis-
.cusses their major impacts in
broad policy terms. However, it
leaves to the Mayor and Board
of Trustees — and spedfically
states that it is doing so — the
task of choosing the preferred
option.
The study points out that the
condition of the stadium runs .
from good to deteriorating
and poor. The race track.and re-
„ taining walls, entrance and office
• building are in good condition;
. the main building, including the
- grandstand, is in poor condition
and the bleachers and conces­sion
stands are deteriorating.
The village has received pro­posals
for recreational/entertain­ment
uses, and commercial/
industrial development.
Submiuing proposals for a rec­reational
use of the property have
been: SCIBELU BROTHERS,
a collision and body shop coin-pany
which proposes to manage
and maintain the sudium for
anto racing; JOHN BAHBARO
(COY), a local auto racer, who
proposes the village act as the
promoter for auto racing and
other sporting events, and hire
Barbara as manager; VITAL
DEVELOPERS CORP, interested
in leasing the stadium to conduct
track and field events and other
entertainment and community-related
acti>ities; WORLD
SPORTS PROJECTS, a Florida-based
developer, proposing to
lease the stadium for use as a
recreational facility to include
midget racing and other racing
events eligible for television net­work
programming, and a Sports­men's
Country Fab; GO RACING
PROMOTIONS, for various
stock car radng events and other
special events; CAMPI ENTER­PRISES,
former operator of the
Freeport Municipal Stadium,
who proposes to indude a variety
of other events as well as the rac­ing:
LJ. MIDGEr RACING •
CLUB, for racing, bosng,
rodeos,. pop concerts, bizs,
etc.: SUFFOLK MOTORDROME.
INC. (Arlhiir Cromarty), experi­enced
in 'Islip and Biverhead
and proposing to run anto rac­ing,
conceits, fairs, boat stunrs,
etc.; and three indrvidua] pn>- .
meters, BROWN, .ANDERSON
andBOGART.
Proposals for commercial/
indns^ial development have
come from FRED SCALAMAN-DRE,
a local developer. His plan
includes acquisition of residei)tial
properties on Albany Avenue,
and a cbmmerdal and/or indus­trial
complex use. The Village
would sell him the property only
afler it approves detailed de­velopment
plans.
Purchase or lease of parts of
' the Stadium property, were pro- '
posed by ALLSTATE UNEN
SUPPLY; located adjacent to
the Stadium and wanting to ex­pand;
PARA LABORATORIES,
INC., an'existing light industrial
operation seeking potential re­location
sites on the South Shore; .
and EQUITY REALTY, a com-merdal
real estato firm seeking
space for a Freeport-based light
industrial firm which • seeks to
expand and remain in the village.
In discussing the recreational
options, the study points out that
the ViUage could act as its own
promoter, appointing a stadium
committee to manage the general
operation and conduct the events.
Start-up futids could be provided .
by the village to assist in pro­motional
efforts as well as com­mittee
salaries.
Another recreational option,
meirtioned by Raymond, Parish,
Pine and Weiner is to clear the
site and retain it for an open
space park with ballfields for
partidpating. rather than spec-
Utor sports. The area could Oien
also serve as an additional
parking field for such special
