Deputy Doctoroff: Community Was Shut Out
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
The resignation of Deputy Mayor for Economic Development Dan Doctoroff draws DDDB comment on how the Atlantic Yards project, which was pushed by Doctoroff, failed to take the community into account.
His last big policy push during his tenure was the PlaNYC 2030 proposal for sustainable development. The mayor's PlaNYC proposal says, “As our search for land becomes more pressing in the coming decades, we must be prepared to work with communities to explore the potential of these sites.”
Clearly Atlantic Yards violated that principle...egregiously.
