The new arena designs will emerge soon, but keep watch on September 17 and October 14
Atlantic Yards Report
Mark your calendars.
DDDB predicts that next week Forest City Ratner will release the new designs--after the public comment period has closed and without designs for the rest of the project.
DDDB points to "a big court date on October 14," when the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals, hears the Atlantic Yards eminent domain case.
But I suggest that September 17 is the next big date.
Yes, the board of the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) is expected to re-approve the project with few questions, but the ESDC also must release a memo to board members summarizing the critical comments received from the public, and we'll get to see how candid and responsive the ESDC (via consultant AKRF) has been.
And those answers, or lack thereof, may be fodder for more litigation.
