transgas-bushwick-inlet-0909.jpgOn September 9, Transgas Energy Systems began pleading its case in Brooklyn appellate court for its right to build a power plant along the East River near Kent Avenue and North 12th Street. On September 22, however, the court decided against Transgas. Neighbors Allied for Good Growth posted the full decision on its website, mentioning that Transgas still retains the right to appeal, however slim its chances. If the appeal process fails or the courts deny Transgas the right to appeal, then the city will continue the process of condemning the site, the former Bayside Fuel Depot, so that it can be included in Bushwick Inlet Park.

  1. My comment on the previous story:

    “They haven’t got a hope in hell of building that there now even if they won the case. I cannot fathom why they are wasting the company’s cash on legal bills – their lawyer must have astounding salesmanship skills.”

    I wonder if this guy will now persuade Transgas to appeal. How much cash have they wasted so far in legal bills?
