The Yards Lawsuit Cometh
Brooklyn Downtown Star
By Norman Oder
It wasn't the first lawsuit filed in the Atlantic Yards fight, but it is likely to be the most decisive. With the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) apparently poised to approve the Atlantic Yards project within weeks, opponents last week filed a preemptive strike, challenging the use of eminent domain - a move that could delay the project, if not derail it. In any event, may be the strongest legal arrow in the opponents' quiver.
