Gowanus Superfund: What’s at Stake
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
by Dennis Holt
In an editorial ostensibly about the Gowanus and Coney Island, Dennis Holt (who has yet to meet an ass-backwards development project he didn't love) can't help wishing upon Atlantic Yards.
And there was even positive news about the long-stalled Atlantic Yards plan, which Mayor Bloomberg strongly supports. Forest City Ratner officials told members of Brooklyn Community Boards 2, 6, and 8 on Wednesday that ground will be broken for the sports arena before the end of the year and that the first housing tower will be built and opened on the arena site by fall of 2011 when the arena will also be open.
NoLandGrab: Positive news? Ground will be broken? Arena open in 2011? After all this time (remember, the Nets were supposed to be playing in Brooklyn back in 2006) Holt still believes what Forest City Ratner tells him — and what he hopes to be true.
