Atlantic Yards ‘is not blighted,’ says Green
From the Brooklyn Papers:
Speaking before fellow state legislators at a hearing on eminent domain last Friday, assemblyman Roger Green challenged the legality of exercising eminent domain in his Prospect Heights district, where up to 11 acres could be condemned to accomodate Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards project.“For the record, that neighborhood is not blighted, said Green. “I repeat, for the record, that neighborhood is not blighted.”
Come and judge the blightedness for yourself as we take a walk around the footprint for Walk Don't Destroy! Also check out TimesRatnerReport for an in-depth look at what the blight designation means to Atlantic Yards.
