Jay-Z To Attend Nets Groundbreaking Ceremony; Protests Expected

Thursday, March 11, 2010 12:15 PM | 33 comments

By Roman Wolfe

(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z is expected to attend a ground breaking ceremony for the Nets’ new arena in Brooklyn today (March 11) at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, New York.

The rapper, who owns a percentage of the team, will be joined by developer Bruce Ratner, Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Gov. David Paterson to break ground on the construction for the construction of the Barclays Center, an 18,000-seat arena.

While some may welcome The Nets to Brooklyn, other property owners are planning to boycott today’s ceremony.

Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn will protest today in addition to challenging the project in court over private land being used by the state to develop the area.

Over 22 businesses and residents near Atlantic Yards will be evicted by the state if they do not voluntarily vacate their property by April 1st.

“I am angry with our so-called political leaders who proudly stand by their abuse of power," Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn spokesman Daniel Goldstein told New York’s NBC Channel 4.

The Nets will begin playing at the new Barclay’s Center in 2012.

	TheKid512 said: Guess I will ask the question of why Jay Z of all folks, would evict these folks from their homes and business with no compensation. Jay has been a part of BK for a hot minute and should understand the rules of regentrification. If you are going to take from the people, you gotta help them out at the same time. Yo Jay dont forget where you come from by destroying your hood. March 11, 2010 3:17 PM

	DC.dmv said: U people need to grow the f**k up. Who the hell whats to live in run down neighborhoods. by building and expanding will be a good thing. I'm from the streets of DC and when they built the Verizon center, downtown DC blossomed into a very nice place to take the fam for meals, movies, and shopping on top of condo's and gave others opportunities for employment. the same with the Nationals tight ass stadium. that area was infested with nice hood clubs if you know what I mean, run down apartments, and drugs. Now SW is businesses, store, apartments, condo's and hotels. Before they put Camden Yards and Ravens stadium in B-more harbor, it was garbage but now it's a nice place to lounge in the summer..My point is stop standing still and move forward.

	Mark7 said: Thank u DC and baltimoreson Y'all goin hard at the man simply for the fact that u hate him. He not on Lebron's d**k, he just sees him like a li'l brother. Like how he did wit Bleek and Kanye. He needs to get Beans and Freeway back tho, make amends. That's my opinion, but still. Brooklyn needs somethin and I don't think the state is gonna leave those ppl hangin with nothin. They better give if they're gonna take. And if they have good talent like Liquid says then they need good leadership, hopefully that happens. I like seein underdogs come up. March 12, 2010 9:57 AM

	Triple_P said: *Walks in, place Soap Box on the ground then climb on top* Come one people; let’s do a little research before we start talking sideways after reading second information on a Hip Hop website (No disrespect AHH). I have family that lives in that neighborhood and I was worried too. My cousin sent me the information that was given to them in regards to the future overall plans. It is anticipated that Atlantic Yards will generate over $5.6 billion in new tax revenues for the State and the City over the next 30 years and will create a net positive fiscal impact of more than $1.3 billion. In addition to tax benefits, the project will also create thousands of new jobs: upwards of 17,000 union construction jobs and up to 8,000 permanent jobs when the entire project is completed. This of course will provide the necessary jobs that the Brooklyn residents need. Also the Atlantic Yards project will include an arena and 16 new buildings to be utilized for residential, office, and retail purposes. Of the anticipated 6,430 units of housing, 4,500 will be rental apartments and the remainder will be market rate condos. Fifty percent of the rental units — 2,250 apartments – will be for a combination of low-, moderate- and middle-income families. In addition, 10% of the rental units will be reserved for senior citizens. In addition to the affordable housing commitment, FCRC entered into a historic and unprecedented Community Benefits Agreement, wherein FCRC has agreed to continue its longstanding commitment to minority and women owned businesses, by ensuring that at least 30% of contracts and 45% of all construction jobs are to be held by women and minorities. In fact, out of the more than $51 million worth of contracts already awarded for work on the site, 80% of the total prime contracts awarded to date have gone to M/WBE firms and 49.3% of the total contract dollars to M/WBE firms. I mean I can’t call it… but it seems like a good move for the future success of the neighborhood. I believe the problem is that people are afraid of change. Some ppl love to hug the block too much… I never met a real n*a from the street that wants to stay on the block. You rep what you have, if you’re from the streets you parent teach you that you’re suppose to be proud of what you are and where you come from while still trying to better yourself… oh well what do I know?
