White Plains CitizeNetReporter - CCOS-Bryant Gardens Sue City to Stop NYPH Proton Accelerator/biotech Project

WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. By John F. Bailey. September 4, 2002: The City of White Plains was served today with a lawsuit filed in New York State Supreme Court by Concerned Citizens for Open Space and the Bryant Gardens Cooperative Apartments on Bryant Avenue. The suit asks the court to stop the New York Presbyterian Hospital proton accelerator/biomedical facility, approved by the Common Council August 5 from being constructed. The action was confirmed by the Mayor's Office which has turned over the several-hundred page document to the Corporation Counsel, Edward Dunphy for analysis.

George Gretsas, Executive Officer for the Mayor, told WPCNR the suit asks for the court to stop the project approved August 5 from being constructed on the council-approved site Southeast of Bloomingdale's, known as Site Eight. Gretsas said the suit also asks the court to refer the project back to the Common Council for further review. Gretsas said no monetary damages were sought by the plaintiffs.

Gretsas said he could not speculate on what could be expected from the courts on the matter, and referred WPCNR to the city Corporation Council.

Gretsas said he had only read the first several pages of the suit, and estimated the document to be "several hundred pages," "telephone book size" in length. He said the suit was served at about 2:30 PM Wednesday afternoon.
