This from the Working Family Party blog:

Today at 1pm the Albee Square Mall, located in downtown Brooklyn, and
UFCW Local 1500 will announce a deal to respect the wishes of the
community and exclude Wal-Mart from the development. Community
organizations, members of the New York City Council, the Working
Families Party, State Senator Eric Adams, faith-based leaders and other
unions – who all played a part in striking this deal – will also be in
attendance.
