From the latest Construction Alert: as project progresses, more need for a second shift
Atlantic Yards Report
Here's a conundrum for Empire State Development: if the construction of the Barclays Center of Brooklyn® is really on time, then the Environmental Impact Statement is utterly worthless. But if the EIS isn't utterly worthless, construction of the Barclays Center of Brooklyn® is well behind schedule.
According to the latest two-week Atlantic Yards Construction Alert (below), dated October 10 but distributed yesterday by Empire State Development (after preparation by developer Forest City Ratner), even as progress in several areas is noted, more aspects of the project will go to a second shift.
The text I've excerpted below mainly concerns text in the document that differs from the previous alert, with the new language in bold.
