NEW GROUPS TO CALL FOR FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE BEFORE FINAL ATLANTIC YARDS VOTE
Press Release from Municipal Art Society:
At 1:00 p.m. on Monday, December 18, citywide and national civic groups — joined by new voices and elected officials — will gather on the steps of New York’s City Hall to call on the state’s Public Authorities Control Board to vigorously scrutinize the financial details of Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project before voting on it.
Among those scheduled to attend Monday’s news conference are groups that have previously expressed support for the project or have not yet taken a public position.
Citing the absence of a full financial disclosure for the project and a failure to meaningfully address issues identified by the environmental impact statement, the groups will unite to urge the three PACB members to refrain from voting on the project at their next scheduled meeting on Wednesday, December 20.
