DDDB Statement: Condemnation on Hold
We were heartened today, but not surprised, that Judge
Gerges chose to reserve his decision on the ESDC's petition seeking to condemn
private properties to make way for Forest City Ratner's basketball arena and
parking lots.
It's clear that Judge Gerges appreciates the gravity of the
issues at stake in this case, and that he'll weigh very seriously the arguments
put forth today by counsel and in the motion submitted on behalf of the property
owners and leaseholders fighting to retain title to their homes and
businesses.
We're confident that after he reviews the facts, he
will agree with the respondents and dismiss the state's petition, denying
the ESDC and Forest City the right to take title to our neighbors' businesses
and homes.
