Atlantic Yards Project To Be Hit With Another Lawsuit
NY1 explains what could happen if the plaintiffs prevail (emphasis added):
The Atlantic Yards project is expected to be hit with another lawsuit Thursday.
...
Twenty-seven co-petitioners are expected to file a suit that claims the $4 billion project did not undergo an adequate environmental review.Other lawsuits have argued that the state cannot use eminent domain to benefit a private developer -- which, in this case, is Forest City Ratner.
...
The organization "Develop, Don't Destroy" says that if the courts rule in favor of the plaintiffs, it could possibly require the state to re-review the project.
