Another Atlantic Yards Suit Expected
MetroNY
By Amy Zimmer
Another lawsuit against Forest City Ratner's $4 billion Atlantic Yards project is expected to be filed in New York State Supreme Court today by 27 co-petitioners seeking to "annul the fatally flawed environmental review." The plaintiffs — who include Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, City Councilwoman Letitia James, the NY Public Interest Group and the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods — also want a preliminary injunction preventing the demolition, construction and public funding for the 8-million-square-foot development. The suit is against the Empire State Development Corporation, the state agency overseeing the project; the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which sold its rail yards to the developer; the Public Authorities Control Board in Albany that gave final approval; and Forest City Ratner.
