Brownfield bucks for Vanderbilt Yards?
Today’s Crain's reports (emphasis added):
On May 12, the EPA gave the city a portion of its $69.9 million Brownfield grants, which are used to restore contaminated sites around the country. New York City is using a $750,000 loan fund grant to leverage private investment in the New York Metro Brownfields Redevelopment Fund; $400,000 for the Broadway Triangle in Williamsburg and the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal area in Brooklyn.
NoLandGrab: Is this money going towards brownfield cleanup of portions of Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Yards plan that fall within the boundaries of the Atlantic Terminal Urban Renewal Area (ATURA)? [See map, Atlantic Yards/ATURA overlap in orange and blue.]
Local activists note that the project has yet to be approved.
