AY: Government Backed Financing & the Cost to the Taxpayer
Public Benefit?
Since government has been unwilling to tally the full cost to the taxpayers of
the Atlantic Yards project, and with the latest 421-a Ratner
Clause added, we've updated our ongoing tally and best estimate.
Click here to download the
pdf: Atlantic Yards: Government Backed Financing and the Cost to the
Taxpayer (as of June 30, 2007).
The known government backed financing and public cost for the taxpayer that we've calculated
is $2.119 billion. The unknown public cost and government backed financing could amount to more
than that.
Remember, the project, according to Forest City Ratner, costs $4 billion.
