Develop Willets Point

The Daily News outlines a major break in the coalition fighting the Mayor’s plan to develop Willets point. Apparently the coalition of business owners became infuriated when they discovered that ACORN, a pro-affordable housing organization, was only interested in the affordable housing issue and did not care all that much about protecting current businesses.

While both are unhappy with the city, they clearly have a much different view of what matters to them in Willets Point.

Any split in the forces fighting the city’s plan should be beneficial to anyone who hopes to see the development go through.
