Delay becomes routine: nearly three months after the last (historically bi-monthly) Quality of Life meeting, nothing has been scheduled.

What's wrong with this picture, from the web page of the Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AY CDC)?

Well, the so-called Quality of Life meetings, in which representatives of Empire State Development (ESD), the parent of the (purportedly) advisory AY CDC, and the developer answered some questions, were long held bi-monthly, until the delays shown after last September.

ESD blamed "scheduling conflicts and staff availability," according to the meeting notes from the 2/7/23 meeting.

Or, perhaps, representatives of master developer Greenland Forest City Partners (GFCP), dominated by Greenland USA, had--and still have--little interest in answering questions about a project that seems to have stalled.

A plan to start the crucial platform over the first of two railyard blocks--key to three of the six towers over the railyard--was announced last June but never came to fruition.

Greenland USA's Atlantic Yards point man, Scott Solish, left in February, with--tellingly--no replacement announced. Until we learn more, that suggests the developer is adrift.

That also suggests that the developer has less reason to attend the next Quality of Life meeting.

What next?

Based on the longstanding schedule, the 2/7/23 meeting should have been succeeded by one in early April, but that didn't happen. Even one in early May--a new three-month schedule?--seems in doubt. In other words, delay is becoming routine.

According those meeting notes, "Details for the next Quality of Life meeting will be provided when available."

They're not available yet.
