Atlantic Yards project gets new leadership
Kira Bindim from Crain's NY Business regurgitates the press release:
Forest City Ratner has spent the past few weeks preparing for Mr. Stuckey’s resignation, which is effective immediately.
NoLandGrab: Every indication, other than the actual press release, is that this firing was precipitous.
This wasn't from the press release:
Mr. Stuckey’s resignation is the latest in a string of hurdles for the Atlantic Yards project. Demolition work for the Brooklyn arena project was temporarily suspended in late April after a partial building collapse at the nearby Ward Bakery Building displaced 350 residents. Opponents to the project, spearheaded by Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn, came out swinging, saying the 97-year-old building, which Forest City Ratner acquired last year, wasn’t unstable until contractors went in.
