Opponents Of Atlantic Yards Project Vow To Take Fight To Supreme Court
NY1
After seeing their latest appeal struck down, opponents of the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn vow to take their fight to the highest court in the land.A federal appeals court gave the go-ahead for the project Friday.
It rejected the argument by the group "Develop Don't Destroy" that seizing property for the project under eminent domain was unconstitutional.
The attorney representing the group is hoping to have the case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court to have the use of eminent domain re-examined.
