Bklink: "Deeply Troubled"

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

There is a good chance that trouble is just starting for the Atlantic Yards project as public officials potentially take a fresh look at the development. Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries says he’s “deeply troubled” by the Atlantic Yards Stall. “I’m deeply troubled by the notion of moving forward with an arena without a firm commitment to advance the affordable housing connected to the project,” he said. “I’m still firmly committed to the position that eminent domain should not be used to build a basketball arena and will articulate that position to Governor Paterson and his administration.”–AYR
