Yonkers Tribune, Union Members Stand in the Cold at the Gateway to Ridge Hill
The skies are gray and laden with rain today. The Operating Engineers who clamored for the $650 million Ridge Hill Project to come about to benefit union workers have instead been shunned from the equation as witnessed by the picket line. Forest City Ratner, developer of the Ridge Hill Project is not to blame.
Denver Westworld News, Affordable Housing a Tough Sell in Stapleton
How's the affordable housing plan for Forest City's Denver Stapleton project going?
Five years after its inception, the program is still in its infancy. Of the 3,071 homes on site, just 158 of them — or 5 percent — are available to people like Nagel. That's about half of where Forest City should be by now to keep pace with its own affordable-housing plan. In addition, the units that do exist — largely condominiums and duplexes that border the Park Hill neighborhood — have been slow to sell. Nagel's development still has six empty homes.
Cleveland Plain Dealer, Indians GM preparing Sabathia contract

[Just a reminder that FCE has friends in high places, in case you forgot already.]
