Atlantic Yards Advances
From The Crain's Insider (emphasis added):
Opponents of Atlantic Yards expect the final environmental impact statement for the $4.2 billion Brooklyn project to be certified today by the Empire State Development Corp. That will enable the state to go to the Public Authorities Control Board for a vote in December. But insiders say Governor-elect Eliot Spitzer may ask Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver to delay action until next year, when Spitzer will control one of the three PACB votes. Spitzer has voiced support for the project, though not as enthusiastically as Gov. George Pataki. The project needs unanimous PACB approval.
