No vote on American Dream Meadowlands at sports authority meeting

EAST RUTHERFORD ? The revised master plan for the American Dream Meadowlands project will have to wait at least another month.

The plan was not on the agenda of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority board's monthly meeting Thursday, and the board did not discuss the American Dream.

The revised master plan reflects the addition of an amusement park and a water park to the project. Triple Five, the developer of American Dream, has been waiting for the sports authority's approval since the Environmental Protection Agency gave the project its blessing in August.

Wayne Hasenbalg, president and CEO of the sports authority, has kept quiet about when a vote will come.

Many think it will be soon, as optimism around the project increases. Jon F. Hanson, who is negotiating a financing deal between Triple Five and the state, hinted that construction could start in January.

But the sports authority's approval may bring new delays. While a judge dismissed a lawsuit by the Jets and Giants to stop the project over the teams' objections to the amusement and water parks, he said the teams may sue again when the revised master plan is approved.
