Williamsburg Brooklyn, Power plant - or public park?

TransGas Energy wants to build a 1,100 megawatt power plant on the same Williamsburg site where the city has already mapped out a park as part of the area's sweeping waterfront development plan.
TransGas wants to condemn lots at North 12th and Kent Ave. before the city can get the land for its park.
"A power plant is a higher public use than a public park," TransGas President said. But the $2 billion dream project is opposed by the Bloomberg administration, elected officials and Brooklyn activists.
TransGas created a transportation corporation as a legal entity to help it seize the land because under city rules, that's the kind of business that can condemn property.
"We are going to be transporting electricity and steam," TransGas said.
Councilman David Yassky (D-Brooklyn Heights) called the TransGas bid "preposterous" and unlikely to succeed. "If they walk into court and say, 'We're taking this property, which the city intends to condemn for a park,' I can't imagine a judge going along with that," Yassky said. said.
