Though BUILD Prez James Caldwell is hard to track down, two nights ago, he was spotted in Coney Island:
Has James Caldwell, president of Brooklyn United for Innovative Local Development (BUILD), turned on Mayor Michael Bloomberg? Caldwell, representing BUILD, was front and center with the mayor and Atlantic Yards developer Bruce Ratner at the signing of the Community Benefits Agreement for the project in 2005, and is ostensibly charged with hooking locals up with jobs resulting from the project. Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn, a group that opposes Atlantic Yards, noticed Caldwell pictured front and center with Senator Carl Kruger on Monday night in Coney Island as Kruger vowed to stop Bloomberg’s radical proposal to create a 15-acre amusement park there through the transfer of city parkland. Caldwell was unable to be reached — BUILD’s phone number has been disconnected, as has Caldwell’s home number listed in the White Pages.
