Fascinating article. I've found one major disparity between Coney Island & Asbury Park. Coney Island has "Coney Island Development Corporation", which seems to be similar to New Brunswick's DevCo. According to their website:
http://www.thecidc.org/aboutus.html "The Coney Island Development Corporation was formed in September 2003 by the Mayor, the City Council and Brooklyn Borough President. The 13-member Board of the CIDC includes City officials, local and Brooklyn-wide business and community leaders. It is charged with spearheading and implementing a comprehensive planning process for Coney Island and creating a coordinated economic development strategy for the area. New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) Chief Operating Officer Joshua J. Sirefman chairs the Board, and each of the members serves for a term of two years." Although Thor Equities is buying many of the stands & concessions, business & community leaders will have a say in how Coney Island is redeveloped. We shall see in 10-15 years the difference between a Development Corporation versus a private entity developer. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Food for thought: Read "Asbury Park" for "Coney Island." > > > In Coney Island's Future, Looking to Past Glory By _JOSEPH BERGER_ > (http://query.nytimes.com/search/query?ppds=bylL&v1=JOSEPH > BERGER&fdq=19960101&td=sysdate&sort=newest&ac=JOSEPH BERGER&inline=nyt-per) > > Yahoo!
