    The authority OK’d spending $762,000 today to buy a surface parking lot at 1205 Fifth Ave. from Teris Parking.

    That leaves the nearby Beth Hamedrash Hagodol-Beth Jacob synagogue, which is a “high priority” for the SEA to acquire so it can make way for the arena.

    A ground-breaking for the arena hasn’t been set, Conturo said, but the Pens are slated to open the 2010 season in the new arena.
