DDDb and Coalition Sue Ratner; Meeting this Thursday Last Wednesday, local group, Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn (DDDb) and a coalition of more than 10 community and civic organizations sued the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) and Forest City Ratner (FCR) in an attempt to halt demolition of six buildings located in the footprint of the proposed Atlantic Yards development site, claiming FCR has no right to begin work while the plans are still undergoing environmental review.

On Thursday, January 26th, at 6:30 p.m., DDDb, the Fifth Avenue Committee, Park Slope Greens and Park Slope Neighbors are hosting a community forum on the Atlantic Yards project. The agenda includes updates on the proposed project and community concerns, special guest speakers, including a presentation by architect Jonathan Cohn, information on volunteer opportunities, a community Q&A and discussion session

Meeting will be held at the Old First Reformed Church, at Seventh Avenue and Carroll Street. Free and open to everyone.
