      Subject: Save the Date: What's Next with Atlantic Yards

      If you only go to one meeting about Atlantic Yards, this should be it.

      We're rapidly approaching the end game on what happens in our neighborhood and, quite directly, to our quality of life. What was once a very bad project is now a much, much worse project with no benefits for anyone but a very wealthy developer.

      In short: the old Atlantic Yards plan is no more, and it's not clear what will happen next.

      However: there are alternatives for development over the railyards, NOT including an arena, that would ultimately be much more valuable for everyone in the community, and bring affordable housing and jobs for real, not in Ratner-speak. Learn about how we can make that happen.

      Meeting on First Residential Building at Atlantic Yards
      Posted on November 26, 2012
      The EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT in conjunction with BROOKLYN COMMUNITY BOARDS 2, 6 & 8  invite you to an informational meeting on the design of “B2″, the first residential building at Atlantic Yards, which will be 50% affordable. Representatives of the developer will make a presentation and answer questions.

      Thursday, November 29, 2012
      6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
      Brooklyn Borough Hall – Courtroom
      209 Joralemon St., Brooklyn

      For more information contact Arana Hankin, Director, Atlantic Yards Project at AtlanticYards@esd.ny.gov.

      Please note: This meeting will present the design for the new building, no applications will be taken for the affordable housing.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.
