FCSMC&C "Development Maestro" Jeffrey D. Forchelli Tapped to Monitor the Nassau Coliseum Redevelopment Process
FCSMC&C Managing Partner Jeffrey D. Forchelli was highlighted in Newsday’s latest issue for his involvement in the proposed redevelopment of Nassau County’s Coliseum property located in the Town of Hempstead.

Jeffrey D. Forchelli’s extensive practice concentrates on complex real estate and land use matters, including litigation and tax certiorari for major real estate developers and corporations.
