After gaining the Village’s approval in May, Regal Cinemas and Blumenfeld Development Group are now awaiting approval from the Nassau County IDA before beginning construction on a 70,000 square-foot, 77-foot-tall cinema at 321 Merrick Road, in Lynbrook. The project now calls for the demolition of the existing two-story building to make-way for the new structure, which will include 13 screens and 1,660 seats, according to the Herald. Demolition is expected to begin this Fall, with completion estimated in early 2017.
