Paterson Spokeswoman Hedging on Bailout for Atlantic Yards
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
If Ratner claims to be value engineering his arena and claims that litigation (as well as corporate strategy) is holding up the project, rather than financing problems, then why does he need stimulus money?
It is pretty clear that Ratner never had the money in the first place to make Atlantic Yards happen, and that he has completely misled the public, and is now looking for the final insult—a massive federal bailout.
...
There is no part of Atlantic Yards that qualifies for federal stimulus funds. Nada.
