Atlantic Yards Court Argument Scheduled for Tues, June 29, 11am
Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn
Oral argument has been scheduled for Tuesday, June 29th at 11am on the case DDDB et al. v. ESDC. The argument is on the motion by the petitioners asking the court to reconsider and reargue their challenge to the state's September 2009 approvlal of the Atlantic Yards Modified General Project Plan.
Judge Marcy Friedman had ruled for the ESDC. But the plaintiffs, DDDB and 19 other community groups, as well as BrooklynSpeaks, asked the court to allow reargument in light of new evidence found in the Atlantic Yards Development Agreement between ESDC and Ratner, which had been made public only after the case was argued.
Details on the oral argument:
Tuesday, June 29. 11 AM
60 Centre Street, Room 335
ManhattanThe ruling on the original case—which challenged the ESDC's September 2009 approval the Modified General Project Plan—hinged on whether or not there was a rational basis for the ESDC to claim the project would take ten years.
