Affiliates of the U.S. Immigration Fund and Fortress Investment Group are fighting over a separate project. Shouldn't we know more about their stake, and clout, in Atlantic Yards?
Given delays have costs what is the likelihood of any clarification prior to scheduled ESD decisions that keep the project moving forward? Outside of the AY CDC is there room or place for a community response, or demand for clarity, to this uncertainty?
Other than the AY CDC, there should be a fourth public workshop, online, regarding "community engagement," specifically the feedback on the draft community engagement report. That was originally expected to happen this month, but now seems unlikely.
So while the issue of the USIF/Fortress roles, and powers, is surely "off-topic," it could be raised then.
It also could/should be raised by our elected officials.
