‘Hi-rise crusher?’ Will Cobble Hill Association’s new attorney help temper Fortis?
LICH lawyer Jim Walden hired to advise community
Jim Walden, the high-powered attorney who worked pro bono to save Long Island College Hospital (LICH), has been hired by the Cobble Hill Association to advise the community on its legal options as a developer prepares to build on the hospital site.
On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Cobble Hill Association (CHA) confirmed the hiring, first reported in Capital New York.
Walden represented six Brooklyn community groups, including the CHA, in the two-year legal battle to prevent the state from closing the historic hospital.
