Judge Blocks Atlantic Yards Plaintiffs’ ‘End Run’ Around State Laws

A Brooklyn magistrate judge recommended Friday that the federal court should dismiss the eminent domain challenge filed by opponents of Forest City Ratner’s Atlantic Yards Project. The lawsuit is one of three ongoing legal battles over the proposed development project for Central Brooklyn.

Elizabeth Stull of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle presents a detailed breakdown of the judge’s decision.
