Chairperson of the Atlantic Yards
Community Benefits Agreement
Executive Committee
Where to even begin? Delia touts the health, wealth and racial harmony soon coming to Brooklyn courtesy of Ratner:
In 2007, with the historic Atlantic Yards Community Benefit Agreement (CBA), the first-ever legally binding one in the state, all of these themes are being addressed in so many ways, that I believe it will be instrumental in creating an even bigger resurgence in Brooklyn.
Minimizing the racial divide is a key component of the Atlantic Yards CBA agreement because for the first time people of color are at the table.
Minimizing the racial divide??
Socially, Atlantic Yards is about creating a healthier community. From the proposed Children Zones and other youth programs, my Community Partners and I strongly believe that these social programs - and others that provide business opportunities, jobs, affordable housing and community amenities for residents of Brooklyn - will create a happier, healthier, safer Brooklyn for all of us to enjoy for years to come.
