The New Jersey Nets plan to
break ground for an arena at the Atlantic Yards site this year, and say
the team will be able to play there starting in the 2011-2012 basketball
season, according to Bruce Ratner, Nets owner and chairman and CEO of Forest City
Ratner. Ratner said the state appeals court ruling cleared the way for
construction of the complex that includes the $800 million arena.
Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn, the opposing group, plans to appeal the
decision.
