Brooklyn City Planning Commissioner Dolly Williams is being honored by the Brooklyn Public Library, which, we must remember, does owe some fealty to the powers that be. We have to assume the library folk are not closely reading Streetsblog or NoLandGrab regarding Williams's questionable record. Brutally weird.
This watchdog blog, by journalist Norman Oder, concerns the $6B project to build the Barclays Center arena & 15-16 towers at a crucial site in Brooklyn. Dubbed Atlantic Yards by developer Forest City Ratner in 2003, it was rebranded Pacific Park Brooklyn in 2014 after the Chinese government-owned Greenland USA bought a 70% stake going forward. In 2018, once the arena & four towers were built, Greenland bought out most of Forest City's stake, then sold three leases to other companies.
