New York Appellate Court overturns BT Holdings judgment
Chester. Owner and developer Frank Nussbaum said BT Holdings will appeal. | 09 Dec 2020 | 02:49
An appeals court panel reversed a $2.4 million court judgment against the Village of Chester, dismissing claims village officials did a U-turn on their agreement allowing BT Holdings to build multi-family housing.
In its press release following the decision, the Village of Chester said: “This is a complete victory for our Village, residents and taxpayers. Both of BT Holding’s lawsuits against the Village have now been dismissed.”
Chester Village Mayor Tom Bell added: “The village will not be bullied by big developers who use litigation to force development instead of using the land use processes available to all. I commend my colleagues on the Village Board for their steadfast refusal to deviate from what was right.”
