30 Orchard’s Dirty Laundry, Another Atlantic Yards Lawsuit
Curbed
While the world awaits a court decision over the state's use of eminent domain at Atlantic Yards, a press release just went out announcing another AY lawsuit, the 936th. The details will be announced tomorrow morning, but the gist is it's a challenge to the ESDC’s approval of the Atlantic Yards Modified General Project Plan: "The suit contends that the plan was approved without sufficient study of the impacts of its extended construction schedule and completion risks. It also alleges that the ESDC has illegally delegated to FCRC much of its governmental power to determine the future content and configuration of the Project." A whole slew of local politicians and community groups are behind the suit.
