Brooklyn Pols Push for Atlantic Yards Oversight
WNYC Radio
by Matthew Schuerman
State legislators from Brooklyn are pushing for a new community advisory board to help oversee the troubled Atlantic Yards project.
The state economic development agency had promised to involve local politicians a year ago. But Assemblyman Hakeem Jeffries says those efforts have failed.
JEFFRIES: This developer has promised thousands of units of affordable housing. We want to make sure that that affordable housing gets built.
...REPORTER: The governor's office says it won't comment until the bill passes both houses of the legislature.
