New York, NY —

Public hearings on the latest plans for the Atlantic Yards development in Brooklyn continue today. At yesterday's hearing, Bob Zuckerman, who's running to represent a City Council district adjacent to the project's footprint, criticized many of the changes made to the proposal, since it was first approved three years ago.

Zuckerman: Several years ago, 16 buildings and an arena by 2016. Now one building, and an arena by 2012. How much affordable housing are we going to get?

REPORTER: But Sal Zarzana, an official with the carpenters union, blamed opponents for delaying the project while the economy deteriorated.

ZARZANA: It's amazing that for six years that a few are taking over the rights of many.

REPORTER: The Empire State Development Corporation has to hold the hearings, because it's allowing developer Forest City Ratner to purchase the property more slowly than originally planned. The ESDC is expected to approve the revisions in September.
