AY court hearing, added coverage (& Blogfest notes)
Atlantic Yards Report assesses the only coverage, other than his own, of the environmental lawsuit hearing, and quickly segues into reiterating his main point from last night's Brooklyn Blogfest:
This week's Brooklyn Paper, in an article headlined Judge: What is Yards benefit?, offers the only other coverage, with some skepticism from Brooklyn Law School Professor David Reiss about the petitioners' claim that the planned Brooklyn arena is not a "civic project" under state law.
The article, however, doesn't go into the extensive debate about whether the state's definition of blight, as applied to the Atlantic Yards site, is arbitrary and capricious, and the judge's skepticism toward the Empire State Development Corporation's stance.
