Senator Perkins hosts public meeting on eminent domain Saturday, schedules public hearing for January 5
Atlantic Yards Report
Tomorrow, state Senator Bill Perkins will hold a Community Meeting on Eminent Domain at Manhattan Pentecostal Church, 541 W. 145th Street (between Broadway and Amsterdam; map), from 9:30 am to 12 noon.
He will discuss the recent Appellate Division ruling which blocked the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) from using eminent domain for the Columbia University expansion--a decision that will be appealed.
...Also, Perkins, who held a public hearing in September 2008 on eminent domain, will announce plans to initiate legislation regarding eminent domain.
