GL's 15 Top Brooklyn Stories of 2007
The Gowanus Lounge
The Gowanus Lounge lists the most important Brooklyn stories of 2007, a collection dominated by tales of Brooklyn real estate development. Number 2 on the list — the ongoing saga of Atlantic Yards.
2) Atlantic Yards. If 2006 was the year that this mega-project created deep divisions in Brooklyn, 2007 was the year of delays, new questions and construction prep work. Will 2008 be the year that ground is officially broken on the project that will change Prospect Heights, Park Slope, Fort Greene and environs forever? Or will a court decision, credit crisis-related issues and a softening real estate market throw more curve balls at this development? Stay tuned.
