PETER WILLIAMS vs. NYS URBAN DEVELOPMENT CORP
Oral argument on Article 78 lawsuit seeking to compel ESDC to make new EDPL 204 findings

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 he current plan,  which is a basketball arena and one building, not for the project originally conceived with the promise of 2,250 affordable housing and jobs. So the takings require new findings and determinations by ESDC. The suit is in Manhattan State Supreme Court.
