Empire State Development News: STATEMENT BY CHARLES GARGANO
CHAIRMAN, EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20
Shortly after the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) Board of Directors accepted the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Atlantic Yards Project on November 15, I was informed that some comments submitted in response to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) were not included. I immediately directed ESDC staff to conduct a thorough quality control review, which is now underway. All comments inadvertently excluded from the FEIS are being carefully considered. The FEIS will be amended to include the substantive comments that had been omitted and responses to those comments, and re-presented to the ESDC Board for consideration.
It is essential that the public comment process be faithfully followed in letter and spirit.
