I don't recall the outrage Moravia just installed a field turf field this year just down the road?

Trying to get the courts to override the Ithaca City Planning Board who did their job in reviewing the application is a lost cause and waste of taxpayer money. Beyond the fact that a natural grass indoor field is both impractical and not even an option...but oh well.

Don't forget the appeals process when the court dismisses their suit.

After the appeal their cousins can sue and appeal.

Not likely to be the case. In NYS, an appeal of a determination made by a municipal body is called an Article 78 proceeding, and it must be filed within 4 months of the agency determination triggering the challenge. So, unless the “cousins” file their petition within that 4 month window, they are time barred.

Exactly, only the lawyers win $$$ in attorney fees in these situations. Overriding the planning board is such a slippery slope in that every single developer would try and appeal the planning board's decisions going forward.

Anyone drive by the site of the Meinig Fieldhouse recently? I'm wondering if they are staging any construction equipment or trailers to prepare for the start of construction.

They were stripping the field hockey field and the grass field next to it and had blocked off part of the parking lot for construction vehicles last I remember.

Thanks for the update.
