Ruling could put Ratner's Atlantic Yards project back on track

The Daily News reports on the ruling that the use of eminent domain to build a new arena for the Nets does not violate the state Constitution. Although the ruling might be appealed, further delaying the project, officials believe this is the last hurdle for the project and ground breaking could be as early as this summer.

“We’re very, very happy,” Ratner told the Daily News Friday, hours after the court victory. “This is really the last hurdle that we have and now we can do what our company does best and build an arena and houses.”
