Is Economy Sending City’s Development Agenda to Hell? Lieber to Give Answer Tomorrow

The woes of the mega-project have been a hot topic lately, as Moynihan Station, Atlantic Yards and Willets Point, to name a few, are facing challenges amid a rough economy and shifting political landscape (at the state level especially).

Timely, then, is tomorrow morning’s forum at the New School, where Deputy Mayor Robert Lieber is slated to address this very issue, at least according to the title of the program: “Maintaining Momentum: Can New York’s Ambitious Development Agenda Survive an Economic Downturn?”

Also speaking on a panel, according to a release from the New School: City Comptroller William Thompson, Terra Holdings economist Gregory Heym, Pratt Center director Brad Lander, Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation President Rafael Salaberrios; and Manhattan Institute fellow Julia Vitullo-Martin.

More details from The New School:

WHEN: April 30, 9:45a.m. − 12:00p.m.
