Atlantic Yards Wasn't On State's Wish List

Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn

DDDB plumbed New York State's lengthy list of projects for which it would use federal stimulus funds, and discovered that it didn't include Bruce Ratner's biggest, baddest Brooklyn boondoggle.

New York State's Economic Recovery Projects, a working and preliminary wish list of projects to receive stimulus funds, was compiled in January. It is 61 pages long [PDF].

Atlantic Yards doesn't appear on it anywhere. That was the correct position. Thus Forest City Ratner's "stimulus shakedown."
