ESD CEO Kenneth Adams to meet Brooklynites concerned about Atlantic Yards; session is invite-only, questions must be submitted beforehand
Atlantic Yards Report
In July, at the bi-monthly Atlantic Yards District Service Cabinet meeting, Council Member Letitia James asked Arana Hankin, Atlantic Yards Project Director for Empire State Development, if she could get Empire State Development President and CEO Kenneth Adams, a Brooklynite, to come to a Town Hall meeting in Brooklyn.
Well, Adams will appear at a Brooklyn Borough Hall meeting September 26 from 6-8 pm, but the meeting is not public, and limited to representatives of specific community groups, which can each send one representative. Questions must be submitted in advanced and asked by elected officials.
James told me yesterday that she had requested that Adams attend the District Service Cabinet and a community meeting. "This is their version of a community meeting," she said in an email. Representatives from some 30 groups were invited to submit questions.
NoLandGrab: The ESDC is all about transparency and openness.
