Breaking: Atlantic Yards Project Approved

After days of speculation about whether the Public Authorities Control Board would approve Atlantic Yards or delay the vote, the development has been approved. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver reached an agreement with the Governor to have the project voted on independent of $8 billion in other "pork" projects. Crain's has reported that 100 feet were trimmed from Frank Gehry's Miss Brooklyn tower and a few other minor changes made. Action will now shift to the courts where legal challenges are in motion.
