Note a continuing change in nomenclature. Not only is the document called a Pacific Park Brooklyn Construction Update, the note from ESD indicates "an effort to keep the Pacific Park Brooklyn Community aware of upcoming construction activities." In the previous alert, the "Atlantic Yards Community" was addressed.
Similarly, those with questions are encouraged to contact Nicole Jordan ESD’s Manager, Pacific Park Brooklyn Project Community/Government Relations, while last time the person to contact was "ESD’s Manager, Atlantic Yards Project Community/Government Relations."
Both the phone number and email address are the same, which means there's still a vestige of Atlantic Yards: 212-803-3736 or AtlanticYards@esd.ny.gov.

So basically the government is doing whatever the developer says. How much to change the name of Brooklyn to something else? Thank you for this website.
