Brooklyn Record: Big Changes for Brooklyn: State Approves Atlantic Yards:

A state oversight board voted yesterday to approve the Atlantic Yards Project. According to the Times, the project will encompass "eight million square feet over 22 acres along Atlantic Avenue," and will include "a huge residential housing complex with about 6,400 market-rate and subsidized apartments, a basketball arena for the Nets, and a smattering of office space, with a design punctuated by elaborate towers that dwarf nearby residential neighborhoods."
