Supreme Court Won't Hear AY Eminent Domain Case
Brownstoner
The Supreme Court announced today that it won't grant a hearing to a group that sued over the planned use of eminent domain for Atlantic Yards. Eleven property owners and tenants wanted to appeal a lower federal court's dismissal of an eminent domain case and have the High Court clarify constitutional limits on private-home seizure. Now that the eminent domain case is toast on a federal level, the plaintiffs are going to file suit in state court, according to a press release from Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn.
