Federal Judge Dismisses Eminent Domain Suit
A federal judge yesterday dismissed the eminent domain lawsuit against the Atlantic Yards project.
Bruce Ratner, President and CEO of Forest City Ratner Companies, issued the following statement on the decision:
"Today's decision is an important victory not only for Atlantic Yards but for Brooklyn as well. This decision means we are one step closer to creating over 2,200 units of affordable housing, thousands of construction and office jobs and bringing the Nets to Brooklyn."
