BP MARKOWITZ STATEMENT ON U.S. COURT OF APPEALS RULING ON ATLANTIC YARDS PROJECT

“Atlantic Yards should happen—and will happen. This latest ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals follows the lead of the Federal District Court and the State Supreme Court in affirming the public benefits of the project for our borough. I hope the appeals process moves forward as quickly as possible, so that we can break ground and bring thousands of units of affordable housing, thousands of union jobs, and a world-class arena for the Nets to Brooklyn.”.
