Cuomo Administration to Appeal Court Order to Re-examine Atlantic Yards Environmental Impact
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
Speaking of the ESDC...
Governor (Status) Cuomo and his new appointee heading the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC), Kenneth Adams, have decided that the most responsible thing it can do for the public in reaction to a July court order to rationally examine the environmental impacts of the 25-year (at minimum) Atlantic Yards project is to...appeal that court order.
The ESDC, again, is acting solely on behalf of the developer Forest City Ratner while gifting the public (DDDB and BrooklynSpeaks foremostly) the present of having to fight off an appeal that shouldn't have been brought in the first place.
Oh, and all the local politicians had called on Adams and the Governor to comply with the court order.
