EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE

Empire State Development

The Empire State Developerment Corporation has launched a new website!

The new site — wait for it — "offers increased agency transparency in outlining the organizations [sic] structure." [NLG: Emphasis, ours.]

"Governor Paterson has tasked all of us with fostering economic growth and job creation in New York State on the principle that we must do more with less," said ESDC Chairman Dennis Mullen. That, obviously, doesn't apply to Bruce Ratner, whom the ESDC is allowing to do less with more of the taxpayers' dollars.

Bet you'll never guess by looking at it that the redesign "was created internally at a cost under $1000." And if you're able to locate any of the Atlantic Yards Construction Updates on the site, do let us know.

NoLandGrab: Note that the press release points to a non-existent URL (www.esd.ny.us) as the new home page — the actual address is www.esd.ny.gov. Thanks to Curbed for the tip-off on the redesigned site.
