Atlantic Yards Gets Another Day in Court

There was a hearing yesterday before a panel of three judges of the Second Circuit Appellate Court about the Atlantic Yards eminent domain case. Atlantic Yards Report's Norman Oder described the judges as "engaged but skeptical" and noted the argument ran beyond the allotted time. At issue is whether the eminent domain suit, which was dismissed earlier this year by a US District Court Judge, goes back to District Court for a trial. The suit challenging the use of eminent domain to take property to build the Atlantic Yards projects is the most prominent and critical of the cases brought against the development.
