'Face-Off' Between City and Coney Island Developer

CIDC board member Dick Zigun said the city never anticipated that long-time amusement owners would sell their property. “The city and the CIDC, we never expected to see things like Astroland sold. That was a big surprise,” he said. Many more details in the Eagle story.
