Agenda for March 19 Atlantic Yards advisory meeting finally posted, but, as usual, it offers no specifics

Well, the agenda for the March 19 meeting of the advisory Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation ( AY CDC) was posted here (also at bottom) at some point in the last 24 hours.

As is the pattern, the agenda is typically anodyne, involving approval of the minutes from the previous meeting and the approval of the entity's annual budget.

The big mystery, of course, is what will be conveyed in the oral "Updates and Follow-Ups."

How many of the questions raised in my article yesterday--about ownership, deadlines, and renegotiations--will be addressed?

Other questions

Also, how can anybody file a legitimate public comment 24 hours before the meeting?

It's worth noting that, on p. 7 of the document, the minutes from the most recent meeting of the AY CDC, held last November, show executives at Empire State Development (ESD), the state authority that oversees/shepherds the project, confident that a new joint venture, involving Hudson Yards developer Related Companies, was about to be qualified as a "permitted developer." (My coverage.)

That didn't happen. We still don't know why.
