Jostling for Control of Brooklyn Bridge Park

The Post reports that the city and state are engaged in “closed doors” negotiations about whether the city should take full control of Brooklyn Bridge Park, a situation that is delaying the opening of the first, completed segment of the project. According to the story, the city is willing to immediately shell out tens of millions for the park in exchange for having the state cede its stake in BBP. “It’s bureaucratic BS at its finest,” said one frustrated official. “Part of the problem is the state is leery about giving up control because it wants to be able to take credit when both projects are finally finished.”
