Buzzer beater! Ratner workers will toil longer, and on Saturdays, to get arena done
The Brooklyn Paper
by Gary Buiso
Work in and around the developer’s Atlantic Yards site on Atlantic and Vanderbilt avenues will stretch into Saturday for the next three months, and last longer during the weekday, according to an updated schedule released late last week by the Empire State Development Corporation, the agency overseeing the work.
Forest City Ratner spokesman Joe DePlasco said the $4.9-billion mega-project is proceeding “completely on schedule,” and the time changes reflect the fact the project is located above an active Long Island Rail Road train yard belonging to the adjacent Atlantic Terminal.
NoLandGrab: If by "completely on schedule," Joe DePlasco means "there's no timetable for completing the 90% of the Atlantic Yards project that's not the arena," then, yes, things are completely on schedule.
