Agreed. Derby is 100% dead, but the neighborhood is hot so i doubt it'll be long before we see something else in the works for that lot.
With respect to the case that killed it:
Phoenix's motion to dismiss Complaint count #7: Blight Designation was
denied by ruling on Sept-12.
The ruling raises questions as to whether the 1979 blight designation expired according to law. If this is true (the fact will be litigated further in the case, it seems) then a new blight designation will probably need to be declared by Phoenix before any additional GPLET contracts can be executed. ..that is, according to my understanding of the ruling as a non-attorney.
Some parts of the lawsuit have already been dismissed.
On 5/9, the court allowed the following complaints to proceed:
Count 1: Gift Clause:
Count 4: Conveyance to Avoid Taxation
Count 6: Arbitrary and Capricious Blight Designation
..and dismissed 3 others.
Count 2: Uniformity Clause
Count 3: Special Law Clause
Count 5: Mandatory Competitive Bidding
