The board of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority has been called into session on Tuesday for a special meeting regarding the issuance $1 billion in bonds sale that would help fund the completion of the American Dream Meadowlands shopping and entertainment project.
It is the second year that the board has been called into session in August for the same purpose.
