One of the largest development projects in the United States trying to take advantage of the EB-5 Program and foreign investment is Brooklyn Navy Yard in the Atlantic Yards development, a multi-phase project of the New York City Regional Center.
Controversy has dogged the development since its announcement.
Barclays Center is to be the new home of the New Jersey Nets, which would be renamed the Brooklyn Nets.
Two of the most dogged reporters covering the project are Matt Chaban of the New York Observer, and Norman Oder, a blogger who announced last September that he was quitting his day job to write a book about Atlantic Yards.

Actually, the NYCRC's Brooklyn Navy Yard projects are separate from its Atlantic Yards project (aka Brooklyn Arena and Infrastructure Project).
ReplyDeleteAnd Matt Chaban, alas, hasn't done any original reporting on the EB-5 angle to Atlantic Yards, though he has followed up on some of my work.
