Forest City Ratner halts demo plans
MetroNY
By Amy Zimmer
From the print version only:
Forest City Ratner will not begin demolishing buildings within the 22-acre footprint for its $4 billion Atlantic Yards development today as scheduled. It agreed to hold off until a Manhattan State Supreme Court judge renders a decision on a temporary restraining order filed yesterday by 26 groups who are suing the developer and state agency overseeing the project over its environmental review, according to a press release from project opponent Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn. The judge is expected to render a decision on the temporary restraining order by week’s end, according to DDDB, and a hearing is scheduled for May 3 where the judge will decide whether to stave off demolitions until the case is decided. Forest City Ratner had no comment.
