Atlantic Yards Construction Begins
Tuesday, February 20, 2007
Brooklyn, NY –
Workers are expected to begin construction on the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn today. Crews are planning to remove contamination from a bus depot before they demolish it.
The city and state approved the massive project, in spite of opposition from residents. It will include a Frank Gehry-designed arena and thousands of apartments.
The construction of the project by Forest City Ratner Companies begins even as lawsuits filed by opponents of the project are pending in court.
