LAKE GROVE, NY — Urban Air Lake Grove joined dozens of other family entertainment centers across New York in launching a lawsuit against Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The lawsuit was filed on Feb. 4 by James G. Mermigis, the plaintiffs' attorney.

The lawsuit argues Cuomo has been inconsistent in the way he allowed certain indoor businesses to reopen after the March 2020 shutdown but has forced others to remain closed. The suit seeks immediate relief and the allowance of indoor entertainment centers to reopen under the same coronavirus guidelines other businesses are facing.

"Governor Cuomo continues to make random and arbitrary decisions as to which businesses can open, none of which are based on science or data," Mermigis said via a news release. "Governor Cuomo and his team tasked with reopening our economy have ignored these family businesses, which have provided extensive evidence of how they can operate safely. The Governor is destroying these family businesses, some of which may never recover."
