Thurs, 9/17: ESDC's Rubberstampers Rush To Re-approve Ratner's Phantom Project
Seventeen days after the close of the public comment period and one week after
arena renderings were released, without renderings of any other part of the Atlantic
Yards proposal, the ESDC is preparing to rubberstamp their second approval of
the project.
Keep in mind that the ESDC has to respond to all on point comments submitted by
the public, such as these commetns from DDDB,
this Kahr Real Estate Services's fiscal
feasibility study and response
to the modified plan by Dr. Tom Angotti each submitted by the Council of Brooklyn
Neighborhoods. And scores of other substantive comments from other organizations
and individuals (including DDDB co-founder Daniel
Goldstein.) Many of these comments conclude that a Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement must be undertaken by the ESDC.
Meeting info, please come out and speak during the public comment segment of the
meeting
