Please join Good Jobs New York, the New York Foundation and The New York Community Trust for a breakfast forum:
Community Needs and Public Financing Issues are at the Heart of a Proposed New Yankee Stadium. How Will the Bronx Benefit?

Wednesday, March 22, 2006
9:00 ­ 10:30 AM (starting promptly)
New York Foundation
350 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan
Room 2901

In recent months, more information about the proposed new Yankee Stadium has surfaced, such as the $480 million in contributions from taxpayers, the plan to replace twenty-two acres of parkland that would be displaced by the stadium, and estimates of the benefits and jobs that would be generated from the $1.2 billion project.

As the project moves through the public approval process, the goal of this forum is to better understand the impact of the project on the surrounding community and the city economy as a whole.

Panel moderated by Errol Louis of the Daily News
