Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
PETER WILLIAMS vs. NYS URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORP
Oral argument on Article 78 lawsuit seeking to compel ESDC to make new EDPL 204 findingsApril 12, 2010
9:30 AM
80 Centre Street, Manhattan
Some owners and tenants in the footprint brought this lawsuit in January 2010 arguing that the eminent domain takings were based on a plan that no longer exists -- if the takings are going to occur, they must be for the current plan, which is a basketball arena and one building, not for the project originally conceived with the promise of 2,250 affordable housing [units] and jobs. So the takings require new findings and determinations by ESDC. The suit is in Manhattan State Supreme Court.
