of course it includes a Sports Stadium

in addition, there are approved tax breaks and subsidies to pay for the project, bringing the total known public money to be used in the project to approximately $1.929 billion.

The main controversy concerning the development of the Atlantic Yards is the use of Eminent Domain which would destroy a Mixed Income neighborhood.

Three of the four local elected representatives in the neighborhood also oppose the project, especially New York City Council member LetitiaJames.
