Building & Construction Trades Council of New York president Gary LaBarbera this week claimed the 1.6 million square feet City Point development in downtown Brooklyn is failing New Yorkers.

“Why aren’t city officials seeing to it that a taxpayer supported project of this size is producing the best results for a workforce reeling from years of economic distress?” said LaBarbera.

When Jason T. Greenstein and Daniel L.
