ARENA FOES TRY ECO WRECKO
NY Post
By Rich Calder
Advance billing of tomorrow's Atlantic Yards hearing indicates that critics will be focusing on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement:
Their mission: point out what they say are errors contained in the project's draft environmental-impact statement released last month after the project received preliminary approval from the Empire State Development Corp.
The draft statement will be the subject of a public hearing tomorrow at Klitgord Auditorium on Jay Street, with more than 1,000 residents expected to take sides on what would be the borough's biggest development ever.
"If enough of us point out . . . errors, we will give the [corporation] no choice but to force a new [statement] to be drafted," said Patti Hagan, of the anti-arena Prospect Heights Action Coalition.
