 Gary LaBarbera, president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York says the multi-billion dollar Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn will bring thousands of jobs to the community.

 [LaBarbera]: “Construction workers are part of the community. It’s gonna generate tremendous revenue. It’s gonna put money back into our economy. We need these type of projects not only to just create jobs, but we need these projects and economic development throughout the city really to stimulate and continue the recovery.”
