CECPP in The New York Environmental Lawyer

We recently learned that The New York Environmental Lawyer, a publication of the New York State Bar Association that focuses on sustainability, highlighted our case CECPP v Tierney back in the Spring of 2009! In an article by Susan M. Stern titled Two Recent Cases Highlight Concerns About the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission's Management of the Designation Process, the court's decision in the case was used as another example of the agency's lack of transparency. After reviewing the case and Landmarks West's efforts in the Columbus Circle case, Stern ultimately advocates for a more holistic approach:

The overall aim should be to make the pre-designation process as comprehensive as the post-designation process, with procedures for time frames and communication spelled out. Such reform should maintain LPC's discretion on designations, but give the Commission a better framework to operate with.

We couldn't agree more!
