Eminent Domain and Atlantic Yards: A Reprise
Last year, the Second Circuit faced a constitutional challenge to condemnation of private land for purposes of building the Atlantic Yards Arena Redevelopment Project. In that case, the court held that the federal constitution did not prevent condemnation, because the proposed project was rationally related to several classic public uses, including relief of blight and provision of a sporting arena. Goldstein v. Pataki, 516 F.3d 50. At the end of February, however, the First Department faced another challenge to the Atlantic Yards condemnation ' this one a statutory challenge to the authority of the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) to condemn some of the private land. In Matter of Don't Destroy (Brooklyn) v. Urban Development Corp., the First Department rejected that challenge as well, suggesting in effect that the statutory power granted to the ESDC is co-extensive with its constitutional power.
