Atlantic Yards Headed For Albany

The Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) for the second time unanimously certified a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Atlantic Yards last week.

The certification opens up a 10-day time frame for additional comments before the ESDC is expected to approve the FEIS.

Developer Bruce Ratner’s $4.2 billion Atlantic Yards plan then heads to Albany to the Public Authorities Control Board (PACB) for final approval.

The PACB is made up of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno and Governor Pataki. If any of these parties rejects a project, it must go back to the drawing board.
