Atlantic Yards CDC meeting scheduled for afternoon of March 19, hours before public workshop. Topics surely will include Draft Community Engagement Report.
Just today, with less than a week's notice, Empire State Development (ESD), the state authority that oversees/shepherds Atlantic Yards, has announced a meeting on Thursday, March 19, of the advisory Atlantic Yards Community Development Corporation (AY CDC).
That meeting, at 3 pm, starts just hours before the fourth of four public workshops, which will be held online at 6:30 pm.
Ahead of this meeting, though the timing is unspecified, ESD will release the Draft Community Engagement Report on its website. The report summarizes key themes and insights from the first three public workshops and the online survey.
As I wrote, my bet is the report will be used to ratify the new developer's request for an additional 1.6 million square feet of bulk, worth perhaps $320 million, as needed to deliver promised open space and, as of now, unspecified amounts of below-market affordable housing.
The Draft Report will be posted on the ESD website along with an online form for people to submit comments and feedback in advance of the workshop.

AY CDC meeting details
The meeting will be held on Thursday, March 19, at ESD's New York City office, 655 Third Avenue, on the 4th Floor Boardroom.
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 Wednesday, March 18. Members of the press should call (800) 260-7313; Members of the public should call (212) 803-3795.

There's no Agenda yet — typically it surfaces with even less notice — but members of the public may submit written comments on the Agenda items to AYCDCBdMtg@esd.ny.gov by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18.
That typically requires some clairvoyance, but if the Draft Community Engagement Report is out, it might be fodder for comments.
All comments received by the deadline will be distributed to the Directors prior to the meeting and will be posted online.
