After new project details revealed and "community engagement" begun, advisory Atlantic Yards CDC set for public meeting Dec. 2 in Brooklyn
With barely a calendar week--and only a few business days--of notice, Empire State Development (ESD), the state authority that oversees/shepherds Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park, has announced a meeting Dec. 2 of the (purportedly) advisory Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AY CDC).
The meeting will be held in Brooklyn at the Shirley A. Chisholm State Office Building, 55 Hanson Place – 3rd Floor Conference Room.
The meeting is open to the public.
Due to purported building procedures, members of the public attending in-person should RSVP by 4:30 pm on Monday, December 1. Members of the press should call (800) 260-7313; Members of the public should call (212) 803-3795.

Members of the public may submit comments on the Agenda items in writing to AYCDCBdMtg@esd.ny.gov by 3 pm on Monday, December 1.
All comments received by the deadline will be distributed to the Directors prior to the meeting and will be posted online.
The AY CDC is supposed to meet at least quarterly; the previous meeting was Oct. 9, so they're ahead of schedule, apparently because the project has begun to ramp up.
Presumably Directors will be told of the new developers' "feasible plan" to complete the project, with details revealed at a workshop Nov. 18, the public response, and the plans for further "community engagement."
The next three meetings are precursors to a Memorandum of Understanding signed by Cirrus Workforce Housing and LCOR with ESD about project outlines and public support. After that a formal public process would begin, including public hearings, to modify the project plan.
One question I hope they plumb: whether any outreach has involved the old-fashioned tactic of putting up posters on public streets and distributing them to large nearby residential buildings. I haven't seen such posters walking around nearby blocks.
