Newark Mayor Booker: deal to move Nets to Newark isn't dead
Atlantic Yards Report
Yesterday, I wrote that, while the deal to move the New Jersey Nets temporarily to Newark seemed to have fallen apart, these deals are negotiable.
Indeed, in an interview last night on WBGO's Newark Today with Cory Booker, the mayor said the deal is not dead and "the conversation is still going on... We still have a chance of creating settlement between the Izod Center and the Prudential Center to create greater revenue."
He suggested that the plan is getting snagged by the transition between the outgoing Gov. Jon Corzine and the incoming Gov. Chris Christie.
"When [Christie] sits down and looks at the facts, I think he's going to find a way to make a win-win happen," Booker said.
