A departure at Empire State Development: former Atlantic Yards overseer (and booster in China) Peter Davidson

Crain's also takes note of the layoff of the Village Voice's latest metro columnist, Harry Siegel, who was supposed to replace the veterans Tom Robbins and Wayne Barrett. So goes the world of budget cuts in journalism.
