Atlantic Yards, and sticks and stones
Amsterdam News
by Kelehchi Ubozoh
Score another point for the Forest City Ratner PR team as the Amsterdam News tries to do a balanced piece on Atlantic Yards, but mis-states that, "The project has been scaled down since the original plans." [The project is actually BIGGER than in the original plan unveiled in 2003.]
Seriously, Ratner's people do a great job of taking advantage of a reporter who is new to the beat.
The article covers minority hiring and affodable housing, with dueling quotes from Rev. Herbert R. Daughtry, City Councilmember Letitia James, and Forest City Ratner's Atlantic Yards Development Group President Jim Stuckey.
In one of today's Atlantic Yards Report installments, "From the $6B lie to the $1.5B deception? Stuckey revises rhetoric on economic projections," Norman Oder notes that Jim Stuckey has changed his tune.
