EMINENT DOMAIN COURT CASES
On June 23, 2005, the United States Supreme Court issued its controversial decision in Kelo v. City of New London, ruling on a Connecticut municipality’s use of the power of eminent domain for purposes of economic development. Since 2005, state courts across the country have continued to address this issue. In New York State, Goldstein v. Pataki, (07-1247)—a case currently challenging the proposed takings for the Atlantic Yards project in Brooklyn—has moved through state and district court proceedings and may be argued before the Supreme Court.
