Relief? Maybe not...from the Brooklyn Paper:"“Whole Foods is now reviewing the possibilities for a future location at this site,” said a Whole Foods spokesman, Michael Sinatra. “While there is no timetable set, discussions are active and we remain hopeful to bring a store to this community in the near future.”
Two weeks ago, contractors working for Whole Foods finished excavating toxic soil and removing three underground oil tanks. The area was then capped with two feet of clean soil."
Though we'd love to see something happen to the corner, lets not hold our breaths. With the current state of construction financing, it will take a few years to even line up funds to begin construction, if that is the direction that Whole Foods chooses to go.
I hope they build another Dodger stadium there :-)
