The state Court of Appeals has agreed to hear an appeal of a lower court’s ruling that has blocked, for now, the redevelopment of the 23-acre site in Queens where Shea Stadium once stood.
The court indicated without comment in motion No. 2015-1032 that it would consider the appeal in Avella v. City of New York. The Appellate Division, First Department, had decided that New York City Administrative Code §18-118 and the public trust doctrine required state legislative approval before the Shea Stadium site can be redeveloped into Willets Point West, a $3 billion, mall-anchored project (NYLJ, July 6).
