Updated: Agenda for tomorrow's ESD board meeting posted with less than 2.5 hours before noon deadline to comment. Nothing related to Atlantic Yards.

As I wrote yesterday, the big issues facing Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park--the delayed platform, the affordable housing deadline and penalty--all deserve discussion by the board of Empire State Development (ESD), the state authority that oversees/shepherds the project.

That board meets Thursday. but requires public comment on Agenda items by noon Wednesday.

Besides that inability to respond to the board's discussions, potential commenters are hampered by the fact that Agenda (which should be here), hasn't been made public yet.

When I wrote yesterday, that deadline was less than 29 hours away. 

I checked at 9:30 am today. No Agenda. Sometime between then and 9:56 am, when I checked again, the Agenda and Materials was posted.

There's nothing related to Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park. Needless to say, less than 2.5 hours to read and comment on a 328-page document means that public comment is essentially squelched.
