EMPIRE STATE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO VOTE FRIDAY

This from New York 1:

The board of the Empire State Development Corporation is to vote Friday on whether to approve the $4.2 billion project plan for the Atlantic Yards project in Downtown Brooklyn.

The state agency will also decide on whether any condemnation orders are needed for the 22-acre site in Brooklyn.

The ESDC is likely to approve the deal, though the Public Authorities Control Board has the final say.

That board is likely to vote soon.
