Should Brooklyn Brewery support developer Bruce Ratner’s controversial Atlantic Yards project?
Metro NY
Fans For Fair Play Coordinator Scott Turner and Brooklyn Brewery Owner Steve Hindy stand toe-to-toe and make their respective cases against and for the largest private development in the history of Brooklyn.
Turner:
FFFP advocates for responsible development, jobs, housing, democracy and equal opportunity for all. It’s the Brooklyn way. But it’s not Bruce Ratner’s. We urge everyone to Think Before You Drink a beer whose taste has soured as it cozies up to the neighborhood bully.
Hindy:
So the Brooklyn Brewery supports the development. Not because of any short-term financial reasons (we sell plenty of beer at the New Jersey Nets’ Continental Arena), but because we think it would be good for Brooklyn. And what is good for Brooklyn is good for all Brooklyn families and the Brooklyn Brewery.
The ever vigilant Atlantic Yards Reports corrects some of Hindy's figures.
