Empowering Neighborhoods Is Candidate Simon’s Focus
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
By Harold Egeln
Jo Anne Simon, one of seven candidates for Brooklyn's 33rd City Council District is featured in the first in what is projected to be a series of profiles. Simon's stance on Atlantic Yards is mentioned.
Atlantic Yards did not go through the ULURP process and the court appeals on eminent domain are being watched closely, she said, as well as the possibility of breaking ground by this year’s end.
“The Atlantic Yards plan is flawed in so many ways, a failed design idea, as well as horribly polarizing and wildly emotional,” Simon said. “Maybe there will be a chance to go back to square one. If the developer is limited in what it can do, there are a lot of good creative ideas out there.”
