Signs for FCRC's Community Liaison Office are posted along the perimeter of the site
Atlantic Yards Watch
On Thursday signs identifying the location of FCRC's Community Liaison Office were posted along the perimeter of the project site. The signs do not include the hours the office will be open.
This follows a statement by Rachel Shatz of the ESDC that FCRC is in violation of the Amended Environmental Commitments Memo at a joint meeting of the Carlton Avenue Association and Dean Street Block Association on June 28th. At the meeting Brigitte LaBonte, FCRC's Community Liaison, stated that she is on site one or two days a week.
The commitments in the memo state, "FCRC shall maintain an on-site construction coordinator to function as a liaison between FCRC and the community with respect to construction-related issues. The coordinator shall be available to consider specific concerns raised by the community with respect to the construction issues and seek to resolve such concerns."
Amy Sara Clark of Prospect Heights Patch and Norman Oder of Atlantic Yards Report both highlighted Shatz's statement in their coverage of the meeting. In Clark's coverage FCRC promised change and said that the developer would have at least one person on site during working hours.
At points in the project, FCRC has described the Community Liaison as a "capacity" the company has rather than a person.
