STATEMENT ON THE ATLANTIC YARDS PROJECT AND FEDERAL STIMULUS FUNDS
The New York Public Interest Research Group's Straphangers Campaign released the following statement today regarding Forest City Ratner's brazen attempt to grab a chunk of scarce stimulus funds.
There are many very worthwhile transit projects deserving of federal stimulus funds, from modernizing stations to replacing aged subway tunnel fans. The Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn is not one of these priorities.
The Atlantic Yards developer should pay for moving the yards to accommodate development, not the taxpayers.
