Another lawsuit planned over NBA arena in Brooklyn
AP, via NY Newsday
Activists trying to block construction of a new arena in Brooklyn for the NBA's New Jersey Nets plan to file a lawsuit claiming that the project underwent an inadequate environmental review.
The suit, expected to be filed Thursday, will become the third legal challenge to the Atlantic Yards megadevelopment, which would include offices, a hotel, shops and thousands of apartments in 16 new buildings designed by celebrity architect Frank Gehry.

Among other things, the new lawsuit will claim that the state agency overseeing the project, the Empire State Development Corporation, failed to assess potential security and terrorism risks associated with the arena.
