The next public meeting for the Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park project is scheduled for January 22, 2026. This meeting, the third public workshop organized by Empire State Development (ESD), will take place virtually via Zoom, allowing broader community participation.
In December, Brooklyn civic leaders urged state officials and developers to clarify plans regarding the number and types of affordable housing units that will be included in the next phase of the Atlantic Yards project. This call for transparency comes as the public engagement process continues and a memorandum of understanding is expected to be finalized in the spring of 2026.
Community Engagement and Feedback Opportunities
ESD officials emphasized the importance of community input, encouraging Brooklyn residents to participate in shaping the future of the project. An online survey is available for residents to complete until January 16, 2026. This survey aims to gather feedback on housing and community needs, ensuring that local voices are heard in the planning process.
The Atlantic Yards/Pacific Park project has been a significant focus in Brooklyn, with its extensive development plans impacting the local community. As the project evolves, the state’s commitment to affordable housing remains a priority, reflecting the ongoing dialogue between civic leaders and developers.
As the meeting date approaches, community members are reminded of the opportunity to engage directly with project leaders and express their concerns and suggestions. The virtual format is designed to accommodate as many participants as possible, promoting an inclusive discussion about the future of this important urban development.
