In specific regard to the Atlantic Yards project, Jeffries said his election was a triumph for a thoughtful approach to the development.

“An approach not designed to polarize the community, but to bring the community together, and beginning tomorrow we’re going to work to that end,” said Jeffries.

“I think it was important because of the decisiveness of the victory that thoughtfulness prevailed as it relates to this project as opposed to a divisive approach,” he added.

Jeffries also echoed Borough President Marty Makowitz’s position that no building in the project be higher than the Williamsburg Savings Bank.
