NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A long-delayed megamall project at the Meadowlands sports complex could take another step forward this week.

The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority announced Wednesday that a vote on the American Dream project could take place at a special board meeting Friday. The authority has to approve a new master plan for the mall, which Gov. Chris Christie has called “an offense to the eyes” because of its exterior, a mishmash of pastel panels visible from the New Jersey Turnpike.
