At a board meeting of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on June 24, 2009, Daniel Goldstein of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn offered the MTA $120 million for development rights over the eight-acre Vanderbilt rail yard, compared with an initial $20 million pledged by Atlantic Yards developer Forest City Ratner and delayed payout over 21 years. DDDB claims its community-driven UNITY Trust plan would deliver true public benefits in a shorter period than would FCR (whose original proposal has largely evaporated), based on competitive bidding by multiple developers.
