The amendment would seal the agreement with Standard Amusements to takeover the 87-year-old park, that would also increase the company's investment by $5 million, said lohud.com.

Ned McCormack, spokesman for County Executive Rob Astorino, told lohud.com that the county plans to have the deal in place by March 31.

Additional details of the amendment are set to be released early this week. Standard was chosen in April 2015 to take over the park, added lohud.com.
