Rally Round the Mega-Project
Brownstoner
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn and AY Report bring word of a rally Forest City Ratner is organizing at Borough Hall this Thursday afternoon to demonstrate support for Atlantic Yards. The event is called "Brooklyn Day," and, as AY Report writes, it suggests FCR isn't considering Atlantic Yards a "done deal." The poster for Brooklyn Day says it's being held in honor of "Brooklyn's renaissance; The progress of Atlantic Yards; Affordable housing, union jobs and community development; and The return of professional sports to the borough." The event seems primarily pitched to construction workers (they got their own invitation separate from the poster above) and, aside from the promise of union jobs, the promo material emphasizes that AY will bring the Nets to Brooklyn.
